Not to diss the ride, But.. Paint the trims black, loose those junk wheels... smoked the headlights/taillights and loose the porno red interior and you will have a nice notch! congrats!

I would start with motor/trans mounts, thats my guess... if it's not that then I would move to the clutch, if it's a auto I'm out F-ing ideas lol...

the wheels are regular pony wheels painted to match the car...im planning on restoring them back to factory condition...the interior is blue but the front seats are red and black racing style seats...i want factory seats...i like the trims to match the rest of the paint...i think i might lose the powerdyne also..ive heard alot of bad things about them...what do you think??

Probably a vacuum leak or ignition related. Possibly a dead cylinder too.

if it is ignition related what should i look for first...and what is a dead cylinder??? and how can i tell if it has a dead cylinder???

flattusmaximus78 · June 28th, 2009, 08:51 PM

About 9/ out of ten powerdynes are a total loss, and or failure. Good thing they know what it means to have good customer service

Compression check is a nice start.

Check the firing order. Are the plugs and wires good? Is the timing set correctly? A dead cylinder is one that is not making any power for what ever reason. It could be due to a blown head gasket, burned valve, broken valve, broken valve spring, ignition related, etc. A compression test is a good place to start.
