mine? you probably saw the range rover. this is a disco. i don't think you've seen it. I actually took it home last weekend, cause i got a motorcycle and brought back my gas saver car. but its in great condition, everything works. it has a little lopey idle but thats about it. you can't hear it unless you listen for it.

i need to sell it.

Thats prob cause you would not pay 10 bucks for a new water pump when we put the motor in. :flipoff2:

I didnt pay $80 either, since thats what they cost.

But then I guess its easy to spend $80 on a water pump when someone gives you and entire motor and assorted parts :flipoff2:

My bronco used to have those, BDR had a similar setup on his f150 with the clutch slave cylinder for a while.

have the heads been overhauled? those model trucks ('96) are notorious for coking up the valves. later models had better valves. this may be causing the "lopey idle".

yeah, I can see if I can get a pic. As for rodholders, its a t-top, just throw them in the seat next to you. Or better yet just tie the line to the front bumper and use the awesome power of the 1.6L to pull the fish from the water
