Hey everyone, thanks for bearing with the newb on what I'm hoping is a simple fix.

I'm fiddling with my 77 n/a after changing the head gasket, but she doesn't want to fire. Turns over (shouldn't b ...

I'm excited to finally have my 77 924 running again, with new interior carpets and paint touch-up to boot! I met a really nice fellow after parking my car and he complimenting me o ...

Excellent! Thanks. Time to revive Penelope Cruz.

Yeah I know where that one is...on a 77.5 924, I'm looking for the other marker that is found by the oil pump(?). It's a line with the letter OT or something

And I'm learning a ton-load from you ideola...thanks for all the info.
