I'm only seeing one picture, did you upload more than one?

What kind of input are you looking for. Feedback? Hints? tips? Need examples. Always up for giving constructive feedback (if i can, if it helps). Looks like a fairly clean car as is. What are your plans?

 

Im planning a full restore. The interior is currently Tan & brown. Im going back all black & grey. Need to get the engine up and runing. It runs now, but not as smooth as it could. New paint, new weather strips, seals, wire harness all the above. I havent yet starting tearing her apart, almost wonder if im in to deep, or if its fairly easy, just time consuming.

 

That's solely going to depend on your automotive knowledge.

What things have you done thus far as far as a tune up? What things have you checked? Not checked?

What do you mean running but "not smoothly?" is it not idling right? Is it missing? is it chugging? etc....

 

thank you

 

please stop the posts solely to increase your post count. I have 'zero'd" out your post count so you can start again.

Thank you

 

Yes it is not iddeling properly, once it warms up and cleans out it seems to idle, but that takes a while. I havent really had time to jump in and check anything yet. Im not sure where I want to start. I dont want to just start taking things apart, I intend to do a standard tune up first and then move forward from there. I just dont want to get stuck chasing a problem.

 

has the car sat for any amount of time? when is the last time it had a full tuneup? (plugs, wires, check the distributor, cleaned injectors, etc)

 

Yea I think the car sat for about 3yrs prior to my purchase. I would like to think that a basic tune-up would solve my problems. Let me make sure I have this right. (tune-up) -- Distributor cap,Rotor,Plugs,Wires,Oil change,Coolant flush,Service tranny. ???

 

If it has sat for 3 years I'd flush all of the fluids and check the things listed, yes, but also look for any cracked lines or anything like that as well. Not sure what kind of place it sat in, but if it sat outside check for any rust in places.
