Thanks for the details guys. - It is extremely useful providing details like that about the car.. Haven't posted as much as my regular scheduled update, been slammed with work since Corona virus stuff.
Things to note: It makes more sense how the Celica dipstick works after buying the mr2 dipstick part... So i took the old piece out and tada celica dipstick in...
Got a real exhaust on! Parts celica had a brand new 3" catback. Looks to be the ebay but its pretty nice and fits decent. ( Much nicer than my 12' flex back )
I THINK i got all the vacuum lines sorted and finished up the cold pipes on the intercooler, not sure if i noted it. But i tossed out the garbage that was on the car. My friend donated a Threadstone TR6 intercooler. It's a bit blue and ricey for my personal taste but those china hoses are 10x nicer than anything that was on the car before and it cleans everything up.
So, where i left off last time is fuel leak. Stuck fittings. Grinder near gas, not good. Don't do.
This is the joint from the hardline to the tank. One of the PO'ers clamped rubber hose to the nylon hose... Needless to say that was the cause of the leak.
So (pictured later) i used a 5/16 compression fitting to AN6 adapter with a barb to repair. Worked great.
Re-primed the fuel system, and..... The gask tank side leaked.
wned:
So fcuk it i said. Tanks coming out. Sick of chasing this guys tail on everything he touched.
Found the rustiest Bolts on the entire car good god! (
any one know if these are serviceable with OEM parts)
They cooperated... Very easy tank to drop.
GEE I WONDER WHY IT LEAKED?!
Pulled the pump assembly to check everything out. OG Walbro 255 confirmed. Redid the hose and removed the rusted clamps and yellowed zipties.
Next plan it to adapt this fuel tank fitting to AN. It looks to be M14x1.5 i got that fitting on the way.... That way i can go AN to AN in that short run... ( and it makes running AN to the front of the car int he future much easier, if i do. )
If the fuel line doesn't leak anymore i should at least find out if the old turd will crank over and idle. So many spider webs and dry grass.
