"Reliable, cheap running, cute gem"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Faulty alternator, caused many headaches and flat batteries.

Muffler exploded on the way back from auto mechanics who fixed the alternator, arc welded a Camry muffler after removing what was left of the old one.. first time using an arc welder for such a job.

Door light does not work, can't figure that one out!

Slippery clutch.

General comments?

This car is wonderful. Despite its age (20 odd years old) it performs like a trooper, even when my kiwi friend belts the hell out of it.

Great stereo, not the original, but wowee nevertheless.

Starts 1st go on very cold mornings.

Quite a lot of leg room, in fact the most leg room in a car I have ever seen.

It is really great. I've had so many fun with it. I just recently have some trouble with the carburetor. Can anyone help me to know about its carburetor nozzles and their diameters? (hamidfp@gmail.com)

Thanks in advance,

H.
