Oh, yeah, I'm pretty sure the passenger side header needs to be tightened... :willy:

No it doesn't. I start the car up and sit in it with the windows rolled up after work to help relax. :unibrow:

Well, the starter gave up the ghost. I was hoping it would last till the end of March when I did the exhaust, but today it died.

Had to roll start it a couple of times when I took it out, but now it barely turns, definitely bound up starter.

Luckily they are cheap, gonna go grab one tomorrow and stick it on this biatch.

My best friend also nicknamed the car. We now call it the Grape Ape. :lol:

That starter was one of the parts I replaced. :mad:

:lol:

It was $15 when I bought it at Advance Auto!

Yeah, I noticed it turned slow when I got the car from you, but I've been driving it a bunch and it has gotten worse and worse. I think the starter isn't strong enough to turn the built engine in the car, like there is too much compression. The car fires right up when you roll start it, so I'm going to try a mini starter with a 4:1 ratio and see what happens. :unibrow:

Anyone want to buy and almost-new starter for $15? :P

Great car! The Javelin was "THE" best AMC car they made. It's really cool you are working with one.

It sounded great, purred like a wood chipping machine. (I'm just kidding)

Thanks for posting it.
