Hello all, I just bought my first 5.0. It's an 87 GT T-Tops in black, pics soon to come this weekend. It has 64,000 miles and is a manual. No service records though
I'm going to be doing a full tuneup, and its the first time ive tried to do one (im 20 and a shade tree mechanic but trying to learn)
I was wondering if this kit
http://www.go-parts.com/proddetail.asp?prod=tuneup_86_93&from=2
would be a good kit to go with.
I have a list of things i would like to do,
1- Wash engine
2- Change all filters (air, fuel, oil, pcv)
3- plugs and wires/cap and rotor
4- thermostat and flush radiator
5- check/fix timing (seems hard
6- clean TB and IAC
7- change serpentine belt
8- scrape battery/corosive crap
9- re-paint some dull rubber hoses and then armor all
10- Reflect at how long it took and go to sleep.
Any suggestions on the kit and my check list?
Also is the price decent?
Thanks!
Edit: hah, i was so worried i was going to forget the list i misspelt advice in the topic. Seems like college is working wonderfully!
