I just spent last weekend doing regular maintaince to mine, after over a year of sitting
in the previous owner garage needs lots of work just to get her back into shape. The car
needs lots of cleaning, so that is always an ongoing project.
Last weekend, complete brake job, tune up, and valve cover gaskets. Still has a little stumble
at idle so picking up some good fuel injector cleaner to see if that helps. Next project, shorty
headers and a complete exhaust, then new set of pony wheels and tires.

Looking for which hood I want for the 85, planning some more weight reduction and getting closer to solid 9's in the 1/4.

right now i have to go with the edelbrock performer heads that i already have. ill probably switch out to some AFR's next year. but then again if im happy with the power i might wait a little longer, and redo my interior first.
