it will turn over , but no crank, ill pop the hood, look around, close it, then it will crank right up like nothing ever happend, its f**king weird. seems like when its really hot is when it wants to be a douche. today i tried it,and nothing at all, popped the hood, only to find the battery cable off, i think my sol is haunted lol

IT LIVES AGAIN!!! Went to the junkyard and ripped a distributor out of a car, paid, went home installed, car runs! now just have to replace alternator, power steering pump and bracket and install shift linkage and replace all fluids and it should be good to go!

was under the car yesterday and realized that the flange on the b18 header doesn't line up with the flange on the stock cat.. gotta take it off, and bring it to a buddy who can hopefully weld it for me.

also in the process of trying to fab brackets for the throttle cable and the D16 altnernator that i'm trying to run. also think that the b18 trans is hyrdolic and the stock one was cable so i'm not sure about how to do the conversion... f**k.

haha problem solved via buddies =) talked to a friend of a friend and such, he has two cable b series trans, axles and other misc stuff he is giving me all for $100. and oh ya.... one of the cable trans is off a b17. so i'm getting a gsr trans =) great gearing.

and that noise is the belt on the seized alternator.. i have removed the alternator since taking that video and trying to fabricate a bracket to hold the D in place. pully is same size, and as long as it stays in the proper place it should work. ghetto as f**k but it'll work.

Im not sure if itll bilt in tho... Never tried it other than that tho the ampage might not be enough for the b series since its a smaller alternator

After work today I'm heading to junkyard to grab one. Reason being, the junkyard wants $60 and Napa Autoparts wants $280.
