Yes. I'm beginning to wonder if the 308's AC deficiencies stem more from age and general deterioration rather than poor design. Granted the...
David, should the Polyflex belts be tensioned to OEM specs or do I go higher? If higher, by how much? I'm about to do this with my new belts -...
I purchased an inexpensive anometer and did a before and after ft/min air flow check through the larger center discharge port on the evap plenum...
I have some idea but I get a range of costs told to me. I'll have to search through the threads for specifics I guess. So far I've done all the...
Thanks. I'll add these to the list. No carbs on the QV though. It's FI.
This 1983 308 GTS I'm going to see that's for sale has not been driven for over 20 years. What are the mandatory repair costs to add to whatever...
Yes, I know all about the non-op catch-up fees that could be looming in the background. I once almost bought a dirt bike that had expired off-road...
Sure, I've thought about that. But, since the car is supposedly close to where I live (10-15 min driving time) I figure I can see it in person and...
Seller is still MIA. Will attempt to communicate tomorrow.
No clue if the seller = owner. He (actually, I'm assuming it IS a he) has told me next to nothing about the car. I do have my trailer standing by...
Indeed I do Sammy. Well, as of this afternoon the seller is MIA. He never sent an address to go see it Sunday - a time HE PICKED. Right now I'm...
It never seems to end (LOL!). When I recently replaced the old front to back AC hoses I left plenty of excess in the engine bay for this next...
FINALLY!!!! I now have a setup that works. Starting with three 3.5" long 3/8" all thread studs (I made) through the York top bracket, I played...
SMG - you are reading my mind as I am totally familiar with the York sequence as you described. That was going to be my next step here while I...
I'm determined to solve this and move on. It just is eating up time I could be doing the other things I still have on my plate and parts here on...
This is all fine if I could order an exact size custom belt. But I already possess the three closest Gates 60 deg. offerings made. Now I just need...
I may not get to even see it. The seller has been in "email only" mode since day one (no direct phone conversations), has offered little...
This is crazy. I cannot believe my engine cam belt cover that the York brakckt bolts to is different than all other 308's. I'm just not getting...
Let me know if you can find any information on this '83 308 QV.
