so heres the plan. i cant get the old z24 engine in my pathy to run, drive, pass emmisions. zip zilch. every mechanic ive taken it to is clueless. so ima gonna yank it out and monster modify it. heres what im wondering. has anyone ever mated up the tranny in an 86 pathy to a domestic small block engine? im going to cram the biggest engine i can possible get in there into this pathy. itll be my frankenstein project. any tips or links to lead me in the right direction will be appreciated.

been a number of times, back when i was in WY, me and my cousin would be out, 50 miles from anyone but antelope and jackrabbits, beer was a good thing. the high desert really sucks the moisture out of you. but i dont recomend drinking at high elevation. wew! but i agree, 1st gear creepin with brew is good times. as long as your not totally retarded. i have seen people, in situations, who should drive even sober. especially since the itroduction of cell phones and now text messaging.

i know this is for random pics, but i just saw this and i cant stop laughing. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=WcU4t6zRAKg

lighter fluid? hmm, never did that one, starting fluid, yea, that was cool, tire bounced 50 ft into the air . was neatest trick i ever saw, next to the grease in the pilot bushing trick that is.

was it just the noise that led you to believe it was bad injector or was there performance issues as well?

it should , its all new info i havent come across elsewhere. thanks

its got a new tps but i think it needs adjusted , as for the fuel pressure reg, how do you tell if it is stuck open? havent thought about either of these things.

mine is a cheap early one with a 4 cylinder lol.

how would i check any of these things? been a while i know since you posted this but i can never find the posts i have put up.

nah, my father in law has been researching my truck , looking at the library in mitchell manuals for clues to get my truck running and asked me if i knew wich it was, as of now i still have no idea, or how it pertains to the problems with my truck. but it would be nice to know wich I have.

how do ya know witch ya got? trying to get some detailed info on my truck but im trying to figure out wich it is of the three letter combos.

i could teach a monkey to tig and mig weld, stick can be very difficult depending on position and direction of travel, vertical up is hard. but you want real hard try welding something with a heavy magnetic field in it.

yall got just about everything. so where in tha hell you gonna sit in the truck with all that stuff?

either way youll want the tranny bolted to the new engine before instal, easier to put in as a unit.

what exactly happens when you unplug your o2 sensor, i unplugged mine once because of idle issues, hasnt ran right since, i replaced it, my cat, my maf , checked and double checked timing checked and rechecked all vacuum lines even as far as pulling them all off and plugging them and blowing through them to see if there were any leaks, nothing. pulled my throttle body off, cleaned and put new gaskets on it. pulled the egr valve off and checked to see if it or the tubes were carboned up. checked compression, checked injectors, unplugging one and let it run , then switch to the other. but it all goes back to unplugging my o2 sensor that one time. mine has no power, idles great, revs great, wont accelerate. spits and sputters like only firing on half the engine. getting spark through all wires. dont know if it is strong enough spark though, not sure what it should look like. anyone out there with the z24i? im wondering if distributor is in right. the plug for the crank sensor is in front, facing the radiator, wondering if it is supposed to be facing firewall. seems to make more sense the way the wiring runs for it to face the other way. also, how much slop is acceptable in the dizzy drive gear, have a bout a 1/4 inch of wiggle in mine. i could really use a miracle here.

offroading? or strictly 4 wheeling? there is a diffrence. i started taking my "cars offroad" when i lived in texas and the parties were always out in the middle of some field, on top of a steep ass hill, or down a trail by some lakes. first took my very first car, a 73 datsun 260 z out in the dirt. amazing what i could climb in that car, then i discovered how well front wheel drive cars did in the dirt climbing. all started there. my daughter has been off road fanatic since she was 2yrs old when we were living in wyoming. shes all about faster daddy faster hahaha. its more than just a sport i say, its a lifestyle.

hahaha, no way, talk about dumb luck. i wish i had some of that right now. hopefully the new MAF sensor arriving tomarrow straightens out my rig. im totally out of ideas, and time, and luck. its a battle daily to keep convincing my wife thats its not time to junk it yet

wow, this subject took off like a rocket. cool

thats funny right there, i dont care who ya are, hahahaha

yea they are c channels. only imports are built the right way as far as frames go. my 87 sammy had a boxed frame too, the entire body, all but the hood and doors was rusted to nothing, but the frame was tip top. miss that turd.

i was thinking something along these lines, soon as i get it through emissions and get tags on it, im thinking of running pipes straight up through the hood jesse james style. luckily im only renting this house , i did have to sign a paper acknowledging the hoa rules. hopefully going to be buying a house before this year is over, prices are almost right. but yea, soon as it is legal, im makin it loud, big ole coffe can tips. maybe even loosen up the alternator belt a lil so it squeals real loud when i start it too.

aint this a b***h, Yet another example of a Homeowner's Association run amok... A Texas homeowner in Frisco (just north of Dallas) has been told by the Stonebriar HOA that his new Ford F-150 isn't allowed to be parked in his driveway. The Association, established to protect Jim Greenwood's interests (that's the theory at least), will allow his neighbor's Cadillac Escalades, Honda Ridgelines, and even a HUMMER or two, but his new pickup violates a rule that prohibits pickups in the driveway. When Mr. Greenwood inquired as to why a Lincoln Mark LT could park in the neighborhood, but his practically identical F-150 couldn't, the response from the HOA was, "'It's our belief that Lincoln markets to a different class of people." Doh! As of now, Mr. Greenwood's options are to get another vehicle, or move. If it were us, we'd replace the F-150 with a yellow Caterpillar 972H Wheel Loader. Yeah, that would get them to quickly change their mind now for the reason it caught my attention, as some of you know i have a old pathy i just bought a few months ago, its got issues, been working on it here and there, well one sunday around noon the old guy next door comes out in his robe asking me to stop working on my truck, tells me to rent a garage somewhere, well my house has a garage so WTF. well week or so later after driving it to and from work for a week or so, he leave a note on my garage door complaining abaout waking him up at 4am every morning when i start up my truck , tells me "to get if fixed or drive a silent one" heres what i want to know, how would yall respond to this?
