Classic Honda Build Thread : 1982 Civic 1500GL

Post by andyjt »

Originally Purchased it from the Original owner back in Feb of 2007. It needed a lot of TLC. When i got it, i had no intentions of really keeping it. Ive pretty much been tossing it back and forth storing it and put a few thousand miles on it in the past year. The past few months i figured id start putting it all together and get everything running correctly/ fix the issues/ and do a light restoration on it.

First on the list was getting the engine in tip top running shape. That meant replacing the 27 year old original timing belt, etc. Ended up replacing timing belt, water pump, belts, front seals, v/c gaskt, and ignition wires/plugs. Replaced them Car ran AMAZINGLY better. \

Now on to more isses: Car always had a cold start issue/hot start issue. I traced it to an internal carburator leak throughtout the MAZE of 100+ Vaccum lines. I chose to replace the carb with a Weber 2 barrel w/o all the emission B/S as rebuilding these carbs are a PAIN, and most parts are discontinued on the,

Originally i started out with this:

Took off all of this:

And Got this:

Got Everything together and the Vaccum advance on the distributor was froze. Honda discontinued it, and NO one had one in stock, except a remaned dist. So a new distributor goes on and she's running good.

More updates to come....
