My corona
Just picked this 1974 corona with a blown 18r-c. I had a spare Mazda reman 12a so we started swapping it in. I already got it mounted and the crossmember done. Mad a gas pedal from a 240 fit and gas cable from a rx-7. The drive shaft should be done sometime this week and hopefully i can find a clutch pedal that will fit it somewhere. Any ideas? Ill get more pics soon but heres some after i got it and one test fitting the 12a.
Dolemite has a 76 corona with a 12A also. i'll try to find pics if he doesnt post.
The body looks to be in good shape! Always liked the Coronas... Wouldn't have went with a rotary myself but to each his own! Any other plans besides the engine?
Awesome as fuck car.
In an attempt to NOT offend you, I'll leave out my opinion of the engine. Later, QD.
FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!
is this the $600 one that was in macon?
if so, nice pick up!
Nice first post! Love the car, looks great and the engine looks clean as hell.
Nice!
Not sure on the plans yet right now i wanna get it running.Originally Posted by roscoe
Ha it's fine i plan to swap to another r series engine in the future but i had the reman 12a with less than 15k miles so im gonna use it for awhile. All stock mounting locations and hardware was left intact.
Yup but i got it a bit cheaper.
Thanks heres a pic before it was installed.
Thanks!
those look pretty good^^^
just a tad large for that car IMO
NICE!
I completely agree they are 17x8's and 17x9.5's I want some low offset 15's or 16's then lowered but i gotta sale one of my other cars first too fund it lol.
Man, I would flinch at anything above 14" wheels, but please don't put 16's on there, lolol. Later, QD.
FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!
Also heres some pics of wheels from my 240sx that im gonna run for a lil while until i find something i like just for this.
my step dad had one of these...nice tho

Looks good man!!!
This Is my 76 factory 5 speed car, I 12a'ed last year but did not finish it until a few weeks ago. I don't have any engine shots but its a 12a car as well. I just fitted a Racing Beat header tonight, and putting a single weber side draft on it tomorrow. You can use a TE72 throttle cable, and I use a pedal from the same car. Good Luck and cant wait to see another Corona on the road. They are my favorite!!!
Edit: I did not read that you had the pedal and cable done already, and you can probably use a clutch pedal and master from a TE72, They have the same vertical bolt pattern that coronas have
Damm you John, making me jealous that my old Corona looks soo good. Glad it went to the best home for Old School cars there is. Garage Zero baby!

@OP. Your car is hot. If you want some hot wheels for it, look up Eddie and check out the Toms that he has for sale. Those Toms and that silver Corona would look so far into the Babastic zone that the earch would shift on it's access and Global Warming could be stopped. You have the power!!!!!!

Nice car! you can put a rotary in any car and make it fun. PROPS!
I woud agree those same wheels in 15 or 14 would look great!
Yea i was aiming for 15's i wish i still had the 15x9 equips i sold a long time ago they wouldve looked kool on here.
looks good, man... I might have a set of SSR mesh for sale soon...
my god i hate you....
You bought this car 15 minutes before i got to the guys house...
I had cash in hand, and was in macon.
Good luck with the build though, i picked up my 3rd mk1 mr2 instead.
Damn sorry man i had called the guy and set up a meet paid him then as i was loading it it poured rain constantly lol. Good luck with your new car as well should be nice
Yay I got it running today but not driveable I hooked up a 2nd gen rx7 coil for leading so it would have direct fire ignition then i used a accel coil for trailing. Started on first try when filling the bowls with gas. Now i gotta do a fuel pump setup and make the wiring pretty.
great.
Haha the corona runs and drives. Got a few small bugs to workout but overall its awesome. More pics soon just gotta tag and title transfer it.
Love the car! The engine of a true connoisseur! Props and can't wait to see how it turns out!

Man I was at the varsity last night with mine I was hoping you would show up with yours, When you get finished we gotta ride out to the varsity together. People were amazed to see my 76, It would be a great for people to see 2 at the same time!!!

Sounds good i just gotta get all the bugs worked out.
I saw it on CL and was tempted to go look at it... but another project is the last thing I need right now.
