I finally bit the built and bought one. I've wanted one since I was 5 or 6 when my dad would always tell me stories about his 85 that he bought new. I just thought they were the coolest looking rig, but decided that it was not a good option for a daily driver so I bought a 80 a few years back.
Fast forward to last week. A good opportunity came up where a family friend offered to sell me his 84 that he has had since 90 and I jumped on it.
Its got 155k miles and is in fair condition. Runs decent, stops decent, steers horribly, is slow as hell, and I love it for some reason.
I'll dig up some old pictures of my fathers 60 and take some better ones of my 84.
So here comes the questions.
-I know they are slow, real slow and don't expect it to be fast, but what are we talking a good 0-60 time is? I'm assuming it needs some tuning on the carb and timing.
-The dash lights work intermediately. You turn the lights on and get no dash lights then they randomly come on and will work fine until you turn the lights off. Then its back to nothing till they randomly come back on again. Simple fix?
-How do you make the headlamp washers work? I have the owners manual but didn't see anything about it in it.
I'll have some more questions as I dig into the turd some more.
