Even with the poor girl getting old she can still put a whooping on most cars around. Hell I outright smoked a LT1/6-Speed Formula...

    Need help ASAP

    I went out and tried to start the car with the peddle floored. That alone would not do it but a shot of starting fluid did. I'm going to leave it running until it is warm the let it cool all the way and see if it will start again. If not I guess I will be posting in here again. Thanks for all...
