calling around to the auto parts stores now see if i can get a alternator and a intake gasket for it. It has the bracket for a gm style alternator.

no the brakes are not the same best thing to do is remove the brakes on one side and take them with you to the parts house and match them up

Ok so I got a few other questions for you guys is this upper radiator hose some wild funk shaped thing cause this is kinda stupid how the water neck points almost 90 degrees where its supposed to?? Also what originally went in the these holes? A sender temp sender I'm guessing and anyone know the hole size one is 1/8 npt that does right into the #1 intake runner the other 2 holes no idea? british standard??? Maybe.

The front one is the sending unit for the gauge, the back one is the sending unit for the EFI.
Just go get the OE Sensors and call it good, wrecking yard parts will do as EFI sensors can
be expensive, unless you are going to do an EFI swap, then it might be good to have a new one

Well I got a upper hose and I ended up drilling and tapping the big hole 1/4 npt and the little hole I tapped 1/8 npt this way I can just use aftermarket temp guage. Put new brakes on the back also. Which I gotta say is about the stupidest thing I've ever seen new pad adjusters all the way out and the drum just falls on no rear brakes awesome ended up building the ends of the pads up with weld where they go into the wheel cylinders and on the bottom peice so they would grab had to add about a 1/8 of a inch. I dunno why but I did.

The zuk LIVES!!!!!! it idles good but has a terrible dead spot off idle real bad! also backfires like crazy on decel i have the fuel cut off hooked up and the water choke is hooked up. it also drives like a bucket of slop! Its toed in right now pretty bad horrible bumpsteer and if anyone knows what the caster angle is with a rocky road coil kit i would love to know it feels quite negative and its very easy to turn.
