Here's a PowerLogger file I took the last time I drove it, any input is appreciated. Thank you

Thanks for the replies, I apologize for not posting more details initially: The car was completely dis-sasembled for paint, and then sat for four years. The car is completely stock with the exception of a K&N filter and a set of Dennis Kirban valve springs. I did change the coil pack and...

So I bought my car non-running and completely dis-sassembled. After cleaning out the fuel system and putting a DW fuel pump, I got it running and driving, but I've got some small issues that I can't seem to resolve. My idle quality/vacuum isn't where I'd like it to be for a stock engine, and I...

Sorry so long to report back, ball point pen is for size reference. Thanks again for the help in making sure everything goes back in its proper place.

So I got my intake gasket, valve springs and valve cover gaskets replaced, and almost everything went back where it came from. I thought I labeled everything pretty well, but I have one small white plug that I remember removing, but I can't for the life of me remember what connetion it came off...

I always run coolant additive, I've got a diesel that has to have it for corrosion and anti-cavitation. I will do a complete flush and make sure I get the proper stuff in the coolant system when I've got the engine back together. I guess my specific question is: should I worry about the...

So I've got my intake pulled off to do an intake manifold gasket. I'm going to do valve springs while I'm in it this far, but when I looked at the bottom of the intake manifold, I've got some pretty fair corrosion at the rear of the manifold where the rearmost coolant passage see's the bottom...

So I'm coming back home tonight, decided to stop for a couple of movies, and when I get back in, starter doesn't crank. I have lights and power everywhere, just no cranking. It's crappy and rainy, my date was very appreciative, and lastly: a random buddy drove by and gave us a lift home, so...

Looking for a grey shifter handle, mine cracked where the u shaped clip slots are. Thank you

Item is "sold" for shipping costs. Thanks for eveyone's interest and Craig's quick response and great communication.

Anybody out there want these for a restoration/stocker? I replaced the factory rear speakers (I would include them but the speaker surround was completely gone) and figured somebody might want them for the actual cost to ship. Let me know, otherwise they are going in the recycle bin this...

Just wondering: these things are notorious for breaking, is anybody making these new or do you just hunt for one in the boneyards?

Does anybody have any? Is this part that hard to find as an NOS part, or am I just not looking in the right places? Any thoughts are welcome/appreciated. Thanks

If you have a spare electric fuel pump, this is a nice way to drain the tank. My car sat for 4-5 years and I used an electric pump to pull off a sample into a large glass jar so I could take a look at what I was in for. Be prepared for the fuel to be varnished and I would suggest ordering a...
