You didn't by chance have the victorville guy make the mess? Sorry, there is no body up there that is reputable. What happened btw?

A supposidly friend of my daughter said he could switch engines from an old donner car to one with nice body,but he seems to have gotten parts of the two engines mixed up and after manny manny months i took it back and am now trying to get it working.

Donner car was 1.8 newrer 1975 was 1.7.

I can't get fuel pump to run,checked relay circuit and I have 12v leaving board not getting to pump ,also seems to have put wrong part from air box to input to air system.

Too new at this to know names of these parts.

Check the Haynes 914 manual. One of the best $16 investments you'll make in the car, if you want to work on it yourself.
