Heres a quick rundown
I just bought my 83 ranger for $350
It runs pretty good, solid tranny and clutch. reallll nice body
So i did pretty good i'd have to say!
Anyways
I live in CA (HARD EMISSIONS) and before i bought it
the guy took it to smog and it failed but i have all the paper work
It PASSED ON EVERYTHING but the emissions part
noting the bottom that the idle was 1200 and its spec'd at 800?
Now i noticed the car runs a really high idle when warmed up?
And after i drove it home after purchase i noticed the carb was all screwed up the little slider part to open/close the butterfly fell off...
But i fixed that and no change...
But i would love some info so tomorrow morning i can get something going...
it has
New plugs
New wires
New Dist cap
Tomorrow im replacing
2 belts
vacum lines
and do the timing!
But please im new to working on stuff and figured here would be the best place to learn.. so be patient with me and i willl try my hardest to get the hang of it...
