we have her running a little better now. put seafoam in the oil, and will run her a little longer to clean her up a bit before changing the oil and running mobil 1 synthetic 15w - 50. trying to finish up the dash wiring so i can install the gauge cluster. then we can move on to installing the brake booster etc.
