Got # 9 home

[freshtiva]

We've had snow on the ground for the last month. So today was the first chance to go get # 9. Yuck, three miles off the pavement on a dirt road to get it. What a mess after the snow melt. Any way the newbie is out mingling with the other festivas. I rented a car dolly this time. $35 for four hours. I loved it ! much easier than hauling the dual axle trailer. Probably saved $20 in gas and it pulls much easier. The guy I bought it from said his mechanic told him he needed some small pieces under the dist. cap. Ill post a pic soon to see if any one wants to sell me one. My first four speed carb. 126,000 miles on it with working a/c. The guy said it ran great. $175.00 plus gas and car dolly rental so around $250 as it sits.

That looks like a clean body! You should sell it to me!

Awesome !!

From what I can see , it looks great

Redford needs a hitch !! then you can dolly them home :lol: :lol:

That is what I want to do, and install a hitch and make a trailer out of a Festiva back half

The body is pretty straight with the exception of the driverside frt fender. It just so happens that I have an extra one.

" make a trailer out of a Festiva back half "

Congrats on the new Festy! Can't wait too see what it looks like once you clean it up. Throw on a red hockey stripe and it will be a twin to mine, right down to the 4 speed and working A/C.

You nut ! :lol:

Axlander, It need some serious cleaning. :roll: I'm ashamed to call it mine right now.

Here are the parts the guy handed me in a plastic bag. I guess the part on the bottom in the suspect part. I don't even know what it is. :lol: I don't think my other festiva have one. :? If someone sees one in a junkyard or has one for sell let me know. I'll post in the FS/W area when I know what it is.

MMMM definitely a different animal :? Ive narrowed it down to crankshaft position sensor or cylinder ID sensor or both.

[packrat427]

Magnetic pick up , ignition module ..

I looked up some parts , manuals says not serviceable ?

Ignition module is avail ..$175.00

Hall effect sender is $100.00

Re man Disty $190.00

Just get a J/Y disty

[packrat427]

Marcus , is it a 88 or 89 man/auto

[freshtiva]

Thanks Doug, I dont get the non serviceable part. Its got three wires (A,B,C) that plug in and two screws. J/Y dist sounds like the best bet .
