it was my first car. the only issues i had with it was th starter and the carb. i had to rebuildit every weekend. the sarter was a pain to change due to the fact it had a/c had to pull the sterring collum out to get it out from under the car. but i think it would have made a cool off road car though.

now back to the carb. go to autozone and ask for a kit for a 80 chevette 1.6l engine.

is that really the carb? i dont wanna buy a kit and have it be the wrong one.

now, im gonna be taking the body off pretty soon, is there a diagram that shows where all the bolts are? i know i can go out and find them, but i want to make sure there isnt any tricky ones.
