Hey all,
So I posted up a few months ago about my beloved BonJovi and possibly finding a solution to the issue that o bought it with. The PO had ripped out all of the fuel injection components and slapped a Carter YF single barrel carb on the manifold that I can't seem to jet properly for the life of me. He also put a Penta distributor on it with no advance mechanism...that was fun to find points for.
In any case, you guys had strongly discouraged me from creating a brand new FI system including Megasquirt 2 and Jenvey DCOE style throttle bodies which was fine, I've found a lot of 3 245 wagons in pretty close proximity to me and the seller is letting them go for next to nothing.
One has a B21 with a 4 speed and the other two have B230 autos. I plan on grabbing them, taking what I need and scrapping the shells. The only hitch here being that one is missing a rear axle. No idea why, but I don't believe I can tow it home reasonably without one so if everything isn't rusted to hell, I think I'll just swap the one out of BonJovi into that one just to get it home....or so I think. Then there's the matter of parking 3 wagons in my driveway. Someone talk some sense into me...
