It's 8pm in Seattle in October, so it's dark, cold, getting windier, and the Gremlin and I are working on our respective AMCS and helping the rest of the neighborhood appreciate the appropriateness of the speakers we have set up playing Dopesmoker.

Also on day 4 or 5 of installing a 5 minute assembled rebuilt loving carburetor and I'm realising despite its mechanical simplicity compared to any othere carb I've done gently caress this loving piece of loving flaming poo poo and I loving hate it so much

Took it off for the uncounted time to replace the throttle butterfly section from the rebuilt with the original AMX unit because I didn't think to check throttle shaft play and the rebuild was loving garbage.

Yo 14, I'm the Swedish guy who promised to check out an old Civic in the scrap yard for you a couple of months ago, apparently it's in some sort of purgatory zone because the police wants to check it out or something. I got yelled at for looking at the cars in that area by the wrecker people. I just wanted you to know I didn't forget about you.

I probably shoulfn't have to say this, but don't carry anything remotely illegal in that car. It is still rolling PC (slightly less than the camaro) and the states in between have somewhat less enlightened views toward drugs.

Dude at O'Reilly said hey you grabbed the full strength do you want me to go grab the premix and I said sir I intend on taking my 1975 Civic into some loving weather.



Along for the ride is a 180* thermostat to put in to replace either the 165 unit I put in when I had the bad radiator or maybe even nothing because it runs cold as poo poo now.

I am Jack's seething bile duct



Getting both axles, oil pan gasket, inner and outer tie rods, an alignment after, right front caliper replacement, new gearbox and engine oil, new coolant, and some carb tuning.

I hate that poo poo. OH sure, yeah, let me pay the same price for half as much antifreeze and $0.40 worth of distilled water. Maybe if you're a clueless person, in a big hurry, or or just need a little bit but if you're buying a new thermostat along with it it's safe to say you're gonna be replacing most if not all of the coolant.

On second thought, I suppose it is possible that Civic's total capacity is a gallon hahah.

At least when I was the parts guy I recommended fs antifreeze when people replaced thermostats and radiators.

Rotella T is really popular among owners of cars build before leaded gasoline. I used it in the Studebaker too.

Allegedly Rotella used to have higher zinc content for those of us with flat tappets. I think the amount has reduced in recent years, but it's also a generally really good oil for cheap. Between $13-17/bottle, and it comes in weights at both extremes of the scale (for in-store purchases). I buy 20/50 for my bus, 10-30 for the beetle, and 5-30 for the CRV, all for less than $50. And since it's "for diesel" engines, I think there's supposed to be less breakdown with heat, but I haven't read any hard evidence for that.

Engine is shockingly good looking inside. Some minor scoring on the cylinder wall section I could see but it's loving 41 years old.



Also yes full aluminum block and head. Go Honda.



Nearly there.
