Calgary 1978 owner here - check FB Marketplace for used. There are a few folks in BC and Ontario parting cars out presently.

FWIW - I spent days fussing with my coil and trying to figure out a no-spark / intermittant-spark situation. For a change of scenery I started on other little jobs under the hood and found a bad gro ...

How necessary is that piece? Mine ( '78 ) is original and in the expected condition so I'd just removed it.

Seems like a bit of over-engineering, but maybe bad things happen without it over time. ...

I found said switch under the airbox indeed. What does this switch do. does it keep the fuelpump from going on?

The jump wire relay hack wont work on these models, this was news too me.

The jump wire hack works if you unplug the connector on the airflow meter box and jumper it. I've got a 77 and I'm us ...

Always nice to have options, and a big X2 on the satisfaction of watching the hatch go up probably better than it left the factory.

I got mine from Rock Auto. $22 for the pair with the connectors ...

Wanted to post a quick note to thank the members here.

Working back to front on my 78 924 NA and finally spending some time under the hood. Got the ignition all resolved, and got it started for the first time the other night. The fuel gauge and tach even ...

Sorry for the lack of a photo, but I've got a 1978 924 2.0L 4-speed of unknown history. Working back to front to get it going, and am to the point now of reviewing the engine bay for sins.
