hey whats up?! as i posted in the new member area, i just bought this 82 mustang gl 4cyl auto today, got it for a steal at 200$ with 103k on it. original owner, shes got alittle rust but nothing major. the problems im having is, this car was sitting for about a year/year n half. i threw a battery in it and bam, she fired right up. so i drove it home about 200miles with almost no brakes!!!. come to find out that the rear brake line, just under the backseat is leaking all the fluid, and its rusted through so that will need replacing. other problems are, it will idle but wont stay idling. if its been warmed up for about a half hour it will idle but fluxuates alot. when i apply the brake if i dont give it gas it will stall. also have the rotten egg smell so i know the cat is clogged. main things i need to do are, change the oil, get some plugs and wires, air filter is really clean. anything else i should do? i already added 5gals of 93 gas to the 1/4tank that was there so that shouldnt be a problem. also the bleeder for the front right brake is rusted and will not come loose it also appears stripped, what car could i get a caliper i think it is, from in a u pick it yard? as far as the interior goes. the e-brake doesnt exactly work so well as i cant pull it up. otherwise its got the normal rip in the drivers seat but everything else is nice! if you guys got any tips or tricks i can do to this thing to have it run better let me know. this baby needs some help! its going to be my daily driver for about a month untill i can v8 it! thanks in advance!!!

 

two things..... carb cleaner, and gete the caliper from a parts store, for god's sake!!!!! Salvage calipers are replete with problems, and just as cheap from Pep Boys or Autozone..

and that egg smell could also be the battery.

Some gas line drier might also be in order, as well as changing the filters, pcv valve, plugs and wires
