    looks nice!

    However, if your having problems with it idling / running funy you may want to look into puting your VAF back to level, a lot of people (myself included) have issues with running the VAF tilted like you do.... just a quick tip!

          thanks guys, the car very clean and run ok not great, it was hit on the driver side where the gas cap is at my friends house, the guy hit it and took off, i wasnt there to see it happen, i was pissed, but it still drove, a few mouths later i was driving in town during rush hour, i was behind a truck at a stop the light turn green and a van behind me hit me goin around 10 - 15 mph, he pushed me into the back bumper of the truck, the car shut off and the whole front end was bent in, the car now sits in my yard, the engine is not getting any spark at all and we hav changed the disturburer,

          but iam getting a standerd one next week, but i would still want my oold car back, thanks guys,

            Stock B3 at the track? What kind of times did you get? I have a soft spot for 90 L plus cars. Just like me Bruce. He was a auto as well, but I have done the 5 speed swap.

              Have you pushed the inertia switch button in the back? Just guessing. Some folks don't know about it, and if you got smacked, it probably shut off the fuel pump. Not sure if it does anything else, or if the distributor would be affected.

                  na the swith or botton for the fuel pump didnt even go off, i made it go off afterwards to see if it worked, it pops up and u just push it back in, i was thinking it might be the crank sensor, what u guys think,

                  the car ran nothing but 20s all night long, even when it was missing and backfirings and throwing big old flames out of the cut out down the strip, lol, my goal was only to get into the 19, lol funny, they would always make fun of it at the track, called it the beast, lol,

                  thanks guys

                      a BP by itself won't get a festiva into the 12's, 15's maybe, mine ran a 16.0

                      my B3 ran a 18.7 seconds

                      If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

                        I don't think you'll see 12's with a BP... But 13's or 14's would be easily possible.

                        Did you check the fusible links in the engine bay? If the main fuse blew, you're not going to get anything.
