Wow, sometimes I'm amazed at how things go. This Tbird for example - this past fall if I took you for a ride it would have been quite impressive for a mostly stock car. So I go under the hood to fix some things and to put on some goody parts and .. wow.. the things you find. I've got some bare wires in the harness by the turbo (under the IC).. replaced VC gaskets and noticed PCV not hooked up at all - hose missing .. Wow, that might explain why there's been oil all over the place .. Got to thinking I can't remember ever changing fuel filter - looked through logbook - nope - oops, my bad .. Noticed the last time I drove it the passenger side power lock quit working - and the cassette player (factory sound setup) plays in mono - not stereo..
Its had a power steering leak for quite a while - wife put some stop leak in it and it only made the pump noise louder and now it looks like its leaking from more than one place (like it stopped 1 leak and made a new one) .. Noticed a pinhole leak at the top of the radiator .. Power Antenna is stuck in the "up" position ..The window in the passenger door came off the tracks .. and my armrests fall off ... I may not be going to the track as soon as I thought.. Best part is now that we have warm weather the mowers need spring service .. heh .. can't get to them until I can move the bird .. It looks like the wife has a choice - give me time to get the bird going or she's going to push mow the 2 acres we have
When its moveable, the stuff from my sig. will be on the car Guages: SW electric fuel pressure, AM Boost/Vac, A/F ratio (narrowband), Voltmeter, Water Temp, Oil Pressure, and FMS 140mph speedo.
Just got the rest of my "tuneup" stuff today, so hopefully by monday I can take it for a test drive.
