my 78 at shop in Upland, getting shocks and timing belt.

And I miss it! Mark is doing his magic at Allison Automotive. New timing belt, seals, master cylinder, shocks and lowering springs, and other little goodies

I've had the car for about a month, have replaced about every maintenance part possible. Its a 1978 with low miles, converted to fuel injection, painted Porsche yellow 20 years ago. I've driven it a few times, and look forward to putting lots of miles on her.

Hello ya'll from north county San Diego.

Nice! Mark is top notch so he should have you going down the road for many miles sh rtly.

Are you sure that your rear coil spring are not upside down?

I recall reading on here that the tighter could are supposed to be on top with progressive springs.

Also recall reading someone saying they fit better the other way...

Vick auto's progressive springs, I could call them....

are there any issues during smog checks since yours is converted to FI?

It was last smogged in 2011, and has been off road in a garage since. It was really clean. I'll make a new post about my smog after I do it next week.

Previous owner did the swap "legit" and recorded it thru the California DMV. The driver door jamb's year plate is a new sticker type that shows the vehicle is 78, with a 1982 fuel injection engine. Will post a pic of it later.

I do plan on using my $40 smog guy, not the $300 "dirty" one
