I finally got the car out for a real drive for the first time of the season in 4 years. It was pretty sweet finally having a bunch of bs stuff that didn't work actually work. It was nice having a gas gauge, and a trip meter, and a rad that wasn't half plugged and to have electric fans that actually turned on, on their own. The car used to run around 205 before and now is about 168-170 on a cool day like today.
It was good for for a nice cruise in it but I found a bunch of stuff that I will have to deal with next spring. I need to finally complete all the repairs on the spring cleaning. I plan on replacing the original timing chain and gears, and valve springs and original injectors next spring and then hopefully then I can actually start to play with it. I'm just glad I could drive it around. I guess now for the next bunch of stuff to save up for. I can't decide what eats money faster, my house or my cars.
