I know squat about these cars(since I've physically only had mine for a month), but I'll pitch in a twelve pack for the person who helps'em out.

np, just be an excuse to hang out with some other Rex's. Besides, maybe I could learn a thing or two in the process.

is your tach getting signal?-- if not- replace igniter for trailing coil on distributor (funny litte thing on the side that the harness plugs into)- happens alot to these cars- can make for a no-start-with-spark situation.

I had this problem too wit hthe 85... took the top half of the carb off, both floats were missing pieces. ripped everything off, put the Weber 48IDA in there, ran like a champ.


Will consider selling if the price is right. Weber 48IDA + a shitload of jets + intake manifolds for 12a and 13B 4port
