nah.. they are getting real popular with the trail Buggie Croud.. they are the poor mans first gen bronco
they like it's short wheel base.
. so dont shoot it, sell it.

It's hard to find a good car mechanic. If you find one, hang on.

@Donnie, I worked full time as an auto mechanic from 1978 till 2004, I know carburetors well, although Japanese carbs have a few extra circuits in some cases that can restrict fuel or flood. pm me and I'll talk you through testing procedures.
Tom, mechanical fuel pumps are positive displacement pumps which by definition require no priming.

My bad - I meant the pickup line. If the pickup line has a hole in it (or a kink) no matter how much that pump moves it will never prime enough for a discharge.
It sucks air instead of fuel.
Mechanical pumps have no inlet check valve so some cranking is always needed but if there is a hole in the line, no matter how much you crank it, it won't get fuel. Simple hydraulics.

the wagon and this duster are my 2 newest editions to my project farm.

You've got quite a "crop" growing there.

Wish I had the space to add a few vehicles to my "acreage".

they are not" ALL" mine my sisters boy friend owns the lincoln, the yukon is my boss's.
and while I did pay for the white aspen SE wagon, my sister is trying to talk me out of it, so it would still be" my project" but her truck.
being the youngest, I'm use to having my toy's taken away from me LOL ;-)

Just got news that there is a 1989 Chevy 4×4 1/2 ton pickup for sale in town, I've seen the truck - it's rust free with 140,000 miles on it.

got some good news to report.. the fire did not reach the stearing column. so after cutting out the burnt leadsfor the radio, heater half the gauges and a few other odd lighting wires and such.
I hooked up the battery crossed my fingers and turned the key. and she started right up. with no sizzles or smoke. I still got some melted bits to remove. including the burnt out fan motor. but I hope to sand off the surface rust and start rebuilding her soon.
starting with an early morning trip to the glass shop for a new windshield on tuesday. if it aint raining.

doing some test fitting. might be from a le baron, but they look to fit just fine.

the fun part is when it switches from petrol to electric

loving the cars, I am very old school car & Harley guy, own too many vintage cars. but loved working on them. costly though

i love my 1997 Toyota Camry though its older it takes me places here in CapeTown

My Camry is doing very well. I've never had any problems with it.

today I started doing shakedown on a Jeep Grand Cherokee i redid a huge amount of issues, put 120 miles on it, ill put another few hundred more in next few days, make sure all is good, retighten intake, exhaust manifolds, and valve cover, and then give it back until spring, when I will rebuild the air conditioning system. fun fun fun, at least it wasnt my money, but she has a steal in it, found it dirt cheap, neglected, but no rust, nor crash damage, just $800 in parts. but could easily sell for double what she has in it.

Im looking for a totaled dakota 91-96 with the magnum 5.2 or 5.9 and a 727 trans to put in the duster, they are the most modern direct fit engine choices. I also just ordered a hood scoop for it to complete its got muscle looks,
hey lonely, congrats on getting the jeep sounds like a pretty solid find, what year??
share some pics if you can

I miss my 4x4 Jeep, I called it the Beast.

the Jeep has proven to be pretty AWESOME! but has an electrical drain i havent took time to find, its a 1998, and belongs to female friend.

i want another Jeep, i once worked on a lot at shop i worked at, specialized in Jeeps, mine was crushed by tree few years ago, it was a 2 door, 5 speed, with 4 cylinder, but driving hers made me want 1. I do have a project 4wd, a 1988 GMC originally a V6, has a 350, was automatic, has a granny gear 4 speed, was 2wd, now 4wd, lol, but needs quite a bit fixed on it, and im too broke to fix, plus limited spare time.
