WTB: Wagon PS Rear Quarter Panel and DS Rear Door

I’ve had the unfortunate luck of idiot drivers. I’m in need of the passenger side rear quarter panel, and drivers side rear door, for my 1972 wagon. Don’t want to bondo the damage. The door could be a problem to have shipped so I’d take the cutout of the outer skin. That’s all I really need, the res...

Re: 510 chokes up, hesitates under acceleration.

Y'all. This post is very late; but, always check your vacuum lines for dry-rot. After months of chasing his issue, it turned out to be a vacuum leak. I was on a Weber carb tuning website and the first sentence in all-caps and bold said "CHECK YOUR VACCUM LINES!" I have obviously learned my...

510 chokes up, hesitates under acceleration.

Team, I've been chasing a hesitation issue like a madman. The wagon is choking up under acceleration. I took the engine from bone-stock and swapped out the OE carb for a Weber 32/36 DGV, new plugs, new wires, Pertronix EIM, Pertronix Coil, I think I timed it right, new mechanical fuel pump, new fuel...

Added some personal flair to the underside of the hood.

Re: '72 Wagon: As Blue as the Night is Bright.

Made the commute to work. I can say that the New Orleans roads are not the friendliest on lowered cars.

Some of you asked about the spring rating up front. I guess I can't complain, it's a little bouncy on rough roads, but it's also saved me from bottoming out.

Re: '72 Wagon: As Blue as the Night is Bright.

The bleeders were below the hoses, oops.

I swapped the calipers and it stops on a dime.

Re: '72 Wagon: As Blue as the Night is Bright.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I did install new rear wheel cylinders. I have fluid at all four corners, the fluid is clean and bubble free. I did get a PM over the weekend suggesting that I may have installed the calipers upside down. And, although a little embarassing to admit, that may be my is...

Re: '72 Wagon: As Blue as the Night is Bright.

I'm hitting you guys up again to see if you had any more thoughts on my brake issue. I performed the pump up method several times, tried it on a few different days, with different pumpers. Initially I had a the 15/16" 280ZX master cylinder; but, after what it seem to be several failed attempts ...

Re: '72 Wagon: As Blue as the Night is Bright.

The tires are 50-series, but do look like a lower profile. I ended up going with 15x6 Rotas since I was skeptical about the fitment up front and I think the 6-inch wide wheel up front is the widest I can do with this front end coil over set-up. I'm okay with the fitment of the wheel/tire combo up fr...

Re: '72 Wagon: As Blue as the Night is Bright.

Just some teaser photos.

I like the height of the front and need to work on bring down the rear some. I feel like the wheels in the back look too small, after tweaking the drop I'll see if I still feel that way.

Re: '72 Wagon: As Blue as the Night is Bright.

We worked on thee brake system for 2+ hours yesterday evening, doing about 3 cycles of the "pump-up" method at the Master Cylinder and all 4 corners, with no significant improvements. I'll probably dive into getting a new MC or a rebuild kit, next. If the new MC doesn't work I'll be going ...
