Yep that'd be the one....I talked with you about the other day...very sweet ol' tank.....gotts an Maine Antique Auto vanity plate...sez "Turtle" on it....LOL!!

This unit is a score fore sure......never seen a Maine winter......1976 vintage.....not a spec of rust....77,000 miles...hundred hoss, fuel injected, automatic trans, recent (10 yr) paint job...no rust repair......excellent!!......'cept it don't run......LOL!!! Pitbull's kinda deal.....paid the garage bill ($351.00) and gave the lady $300 cash.....this sucka's just like a 49sp....ain't gonna set the world afire.....but will get you where you need to go safely and timely.............daughter's first car..... ......if I can get it on the road before July 2 she'll be driving a car that's twice as old as she is....if not I'll be nagged to death......LOL!!!

Sounds like a good deal for a Pit Bull ! :rock:


I think so to. The guy who worked on it at the garage is a good wrench...but.....he works on nice new cars....not on old junk...same as saws..I start with the easy stuff and work my way to the harder more complicated things. I think he didn't start at the beginning........older euro cars have a lot of grounds...all have to be checked/cleaned before you start on anything else as most problems are ground oriented....he tore the distributed to bits....ruined the hall effect coil...and bent the reluctor fingers....which have to have a set air gap......so I have a used (but fully tested) distributer with electrics coming in from Colorado.....gotts to put that in and time it so I can start at the beginning again......but I will get to the bottom of this.....you know when the pitbull gets his teeth set in all the way .....he don't let go......'till the subject gives it up........

Not sure exactly......the lady I purchased the car from bought it in 08......and ran it...then stored it that fall.....then started a divorce......took a couple/few yrs to get that straightened......no cash......got some cash (New man)......brought the 244 out of storage but it wouldn't start......took it to the garage....the guy said "no fire"....the rest that I know is in the previous post.....have the correct "Green Books" sections on the way as well as a tested distributer....gonna go from there..
 
Bet you could, maybe I half fill the truck bed with Mini`s and leave them with you. You could mail them out to deserving members.....LOL

I know a couple members that could use 20 or so ! :D


I will even toss in the hot water tank and furnace ! Sorry , done gave the A/C unit to my neighbor for his camper. LOL
 
Hey jerry how about sending me one of those mini macs.:D

I really feel like I need to experence the pain of a mini mac. Whe I get it going, it could make a nice mothers day gift... LOL

Does that one have the crank sensor that reads from the flywheel?

I actually gave all the ones I had away to a feller that has 50-60 of them piled up in one of those chitty lil metal storage sheds. He has one running, one of the ones I gave him, the rest of them are spare parts to him.
 
Jerry, would you happen to have a pioneer 620 clutch cover? The only piece mine is missing...

No it's a very early electronic ign....has Hall Effect coil in the (adjustable timing) distributer with vacume retard with mechanical advance......actually a very simple setup...with mechanical CI fuel injection.....

Possibly, got a few parts saws buried somewhere inside a 12' X 12' storage building, maybe 150-200 saws piled up in there. Will take a look first chance I get. I found a NOS one for a RA that I had forgotten I bought for a resto a few years back, also 2 NOS ones for the 450-NU17 still in original boxes. I was digging out a crank, rod and bearings for another member....LOL
