Oh god, I have gotten to know carbs more and more thanks to my RV and its Edelbrock, I have been tweaking that lots. One point I had it so rich she bogged and stalled at lights, then I had it far to lean so she "popped" and had a very gutless feeling, I finally got it at a nice medium but am still dealing with her cold-stalls, I have to repeatedly turn it back on till its sufficiently warmed up. Its been a learning experience to say the least, but its pretty cool when you figure these things out ^.=.^

Also had to wire in my own manual choke since the electric one was shot, it works but you really gotta know how much to give it or you will just stall her out *chuckles*

Heck if your car is having any carb issues I would invest in some Seafoam, I did my RV ages ago and it made her smooth out a noticeable amount :) Best part is with carbourated vehicles they are stupidly easy to seafoam. ^.=.^

Did the manual choke not eradicate the stalling while cold? I have a manual choke, and I like it, though the previous owner didn't know how to use it. He complained the car ran rough when cold. What he was doing was leaving the choke fully closed until the car was warm, and then cranking it open. I leave the choke fully closed for about 20 seconds, and then continually poke it. Seems to work so long as I don't get over-zealous. My carb is an SU HIF44 though, which is an English carb that was designed in the 1940s.

Car's looking good! Winter tires? Really? Like we need those out here.  :) Then again if you've got summer performance tires on it the rest of the year, you're off the hook. I've never gotten into trouble with All Seasons.

I got some mid-range all seasons, great on the road when its nice out but the tread is probably only 50% or so, I would dare not ever take a winter on without my winter tires, they have saved my ass countless times, its not just the snow though, with how wet our roads can get, these things still grip them like super glue even in the wet. I have driven through snow that was half way up my bumper with no problems, driven down compacted icy roads with very minimal sliding XD I honestly gotta say unless you are just doing slow town driving you would have to be crazy to take on a winter without a truly good set of tires.

There are some great all seasons out there that will handle about anything, but knowing the average consumer they are going for those cheap 30-60 dollar tires that baloon out and are made out of a horribly crappy compound meaning unless its dry or you are going very slow they have horrible performance. I once got a set of tires with my sweet summer rims (prev owner had em on there).. they were a wal-mart only Bridgestone tire... 60%+ tread and they SLID out in the rain, my back end (which had the tires on em) flew out from under me three times on wet roads, and I was not even going more than 20-60kmph at those times they did. I promptly threw those tires out, I didn't care they had a lot of tread as it was only a matter of time till they caused an accident and totaled my car. :P so I switched back to my more worn but higher grade all seasons and had way better handling.

I cringed one winter when I was getting my set put on and in the span of 1/2hr 4 different old people came in and wanted winter tires, moaned at the price and talked the techs into agreeing that a $350 set of all seasons was fine in place of a good set of winters. I hope I never drive the same time they do >.=.>

I applaud you for making that decision. 944, 928, 959...those are my three favourite porsches from that era.

Go Porsche! Go German Engineering!  :D

friendly fox...... i regret to inform you that the picture of the red vehicle is NOT, nor ever will be, a truck.  if you want a truck you need to consider a freightliner or a peterbuilt or maybe a kenworth.  but an 80's version of a datsun pick up is NOT a truck. it is a truck wannabee.  my ford f 450 is more of a truck than that is.
1 ton truck available for hire.  contact me by personal message for info

Drake Wingfire

I have an anti boner for large trucks myself, not the freight trucks as those have a actual use, just over sized monsters that are everywhere. So many people we sell them to at my place of work are such prissy little drama queens. You can tell these guys only want the truck for a "marital aid" and not for actual use. :P

Even the gayest of men driving a Pontiac Firefly would be more manly XD

FriendlyFox

It's true that the Datsun pickup is gutless, but it averages 18mpg and it's been worked HARD over the past ten years or so. Now it spends its' retirement ferrying me (and sometimes a friend) around. It's also handy for getting firewood, or a new piece of furniture.
