...nice.

Check your fuel line installation - it is really easy to get them mixed up from the fuel pump. If the carbs look like they're not getting fuel it will be a fuel supply problem...There can be a number of issues that will cause an engine to be difficult to start or 'dies' while it's running. Also try ...

If it's a 1.8 it'll be a 'G62B' engine. If you're still planning on injecting the GD then this will make things a little easier on you.

Nice work dave - as always. Good luck with cracking the other rims apart.

I had a similar wiring failure in my 1.6 Cordia. When it gave out the engine just died - you reckon I could find that one stupid broken wire?

Bugger. Doesn't sound good, Dave. Hope your back sorts itself out soon.

Not too shabby for a blow over paint job! And in the cold! Trying to spray paint in cold air and get a decent finish is damn near impossible...

Over 1kg lighter total in the rods and pistons and while this doesn't sound like much, this weight reduction will greatly reduce the 2nd order harmonic, which is what the silent shafts used to do. :D One kilo of metal off the rods and pistons is HUGE! Keeping it in perspective - there's only a few ...

And no the Tach was the previous owners work, not pretty but it does the job.... except the tach dont work :P ive tried wiring it up but never got it working correctly so unhooked it all again, should be a wire for ground and a wire for the -ive of the coil right? Take the instrument panel out and ...

There should be a plug that was located in the centre console for the auto shifter. I have a feeling they used the same wiring loom for auto's and manual transmission fitted vehicles. Anyone confirm that?

There's no price tag you can put on enjoyment - but you can always find a guy full of regret for giving up on something that gave them just that. Yeah, project cars are expensive pets and you will never get back what you've put into one (you might break even if you find the right buyer...) These kin...

Fair enuff Scratchbuilt, if it's a covert build and you don't have exclusive rights over it - so be it. We are a curious bunch and like to see something different in the mix. Thanks for the link, I'm sure it's gonna get some use

Err, not the shining moment you were expecting but in defense of the guys on here, there are at least 3 different fuel line/pump configurations in Sigmas depending on the time of build and model (hence the request for pics ...) Also we have the noobs best buddy, the search engine! http://www.sigma-g...

Dummy assembled the rods, torqued up the rod bolts, and there was 0.15mm clearance between the bearing surface and the crank journal.... :( Then I checked the bearing. FUBAR... FROM FACTORY... You 'should' be surprised but that is a common occurrence. Like all mass produced items, sometimes a few d...

Just googled the Dodge Lakes - a rat rod running an Astron? Cool! Must post up some pics for us Scratchbuilt or the hordes will be screaming "PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!!?!"

Does the Dodge have a fuel return line - and is it using a fuel recirculation cannister? There's a couple of different fuel delivery configurations on these engines...

I've seen how they do it and I doubt they could do the Scorpion. The way they do it is a vacuum formed shell they slip over the original existing dash pad.

Hi Guys, I've had some idea's for my GD -GC rear light conversion -widened Galant wheels with stock hubcaps or 13/14/15 inch mags -A57 stripe -4G32b with ECI MULTI -wagon rear springs -remove lock from boot lid to inner cable release Feel Free To Comment or Have A Thought :) gdgalantlover The injec...

Hi SimplyKen, welcome to S-G. To cut your costs you'll need to get a fwd manifold and wiring loom sent over from here in Oz and get a local guy (or maybe yourself if alloy welding is covered in your vocational skills) to swap the throttle body over to the front of the manifold. It is a pretty straig...

Hi Elijah, welcome to S-G. First thing that all noobs need to do is familiarise themselves with a their new best friend - the search function http://www.sigma-galant.com/search.php How to post pics is also covered in the frequently asked questions (FAQ's) http://www.sigma-galant.com/faq.php It's as ...

The wire is more than likely oxygen free braided/plaited copper (it needs to be super flexible or it would hinder the vacuum advance mechanism or just fail from continuous movement)

Checking the vac advance on the distributor is the same as doing a check on the vacuum secondaries on a mikuni carby - put a hose on it, suck on the other end and see if it's holding vacuum. If you're not getting ignition advance, another cause could be the balance weight springs have snapped. When ...

Yep, bleed them james. Get a mate around to help you completely refresh the brake fluid while you're at it. Well worth the time and effort.

So to get a well tricked up g32b it comes in at around the the grand mark, seems like you guys have opted for the jap 5 speeds too, are they a good box/and are the better geared than the standard 4 speeds? also, with all the engine works done does it make them very thirsty (as 75gint mentioned) I'v...

I don't think the seal's gonna be any good - it will be stretched out of shape and will buckle when you try putting it back in place and screwing the carby top cover back down. Get a new(er) carby for it off a fwd Colt. It will be in much better shape than a 40 year old carby from another Galant... ...

...and you are definitely a true Colt fan IncorpoRatedX. One of every body type (and a GF that's in to them too - you lucky fella )

Hi Nickjax05, welcome to S-G. There are a number of members here in Adelaide and we have irregular meet ups/cruises(see the events/cruises thread - http://www.sigma-galant.com/viewforum.php?f=45) As for your GH turbo grill issue, they are hard to find...

yeah thanks geezer, yeah id like to retain some economy as well, as i intend to make her my daily driver it doesnt need to be racetrack fast, but id like it to have a bit more go. egr, is that the fuel emissions crap? Yep, that weird looking vacuum diaphragm assembly on the side of the inlet manifo...
