    Timing for stock 350?

    Can't find any info in my book on how much timing for a stock 350. Been watching videos and come up with between 8-12*BTDC. Can anyone confirm how much exactly? 84 350 C20, TH350, Fed Emission

    Thanks Matt. I'll order in a new motor this weekend.

    Blower motor inop

    Alright so if I put 12v to any of the contacts on the switch itself (with pigtail plugged in) the switch works for all 4 speeds. I'm just guessing here but it seems like the switch is operating and I'm just not getting power to the switch?

    Gonna test the switch and resistor tomorrow. If I end up needing a new blower I'm going to do the GMT400 upgrade.

    Hot lead to the plug does operate it. Sounds like junk but it moves.

    What is your daily if not square body?

    I change between my 98 Forester or my 01 GTI, depending on weather.

    Custom Half doors and removable window skins

    If you do make half doors, you can use some 1/4" round and make a window frame. Personally I would just throw some lexan/plexiglass on top of it instead of trying to make a zipped plastic window.

    Fuse looked good. Tested good. Put in a new fuse anyway but no change.

    "Cheap C20" build thread

    You're gonna dislike the rest of the plans then. Gonna do 1 ton springs but pull a few leafs and cut a coil off. Would like to drop it about 2". Eventually it will go on air but for now it's all on the cheap. Mini update, got the new pigtail wired in (ACD #PT254) and window works great. They...

    "Cheap C20" build thread

    I had a 01 Metro 4cyl and a 91 Metro 3cyl. Both were only $100. Fixed a few small things and flipped them. Think I had about $250 in the 01 and sold it for $1200. The 91 I had about $180 in and sold it for $750. It's amazing what people will overlook when the paint looks good.

    The same kind of people who have Geo Metros hanging out in their yard.

    Haha. I'm a little behind today I guess. And yeah, not a bad score. 16x8 with -5mm offset (4.3" backspacking). I was actually looking at similar wheels last night, minus the weird lip/fake-lock.

    [Previous Update] [Next Update] Misc Update 05/02/2019 Busy day today. Yesterday I found out I have no dash lights, no brake lights, no tail lights, no turn signals. All that has been fixed (ground issue). On top of that, the passenger window motor is shot and so is the wiper motor. No blower...
