Recently purchased a 1995 GT convertible. Hoping to use it for my daily while I work on it. Does need some work. Hoping to get a few tips and pointers.

Better get wrapping those wires before they wear thru. Nice car but it looks like somebody was doing a lot of playing under the hood. I would button that up first.

Yeah, I was actually told that by a mechanic buddy of mine. He said he would clean all that up first. It's an edelbrock AVS2 conversion. It has long tube headers as well. Motor runs great with the exception of a intermittent miss.. sometimes you feel it on acceleration. I'm thinking something with the distributor or maybe needs plugs.

I believe the line from "The Wizard of Oz" is "I'm Melting, I'm Melting"

I can do most basic stuff..plugs, wires, brakes... pretty much as long as I don't have to have any specialty tools I could do it. Its a matter of trouble shooting and pinpointing the exact problem. There are some leaks as well, including antifreeze. I thought I'd clean the motor up real good then watch it to see where the various leaks are coming from. Also the fuel pump seems to be going out. Its loud and kind slow to start. LOL It's a project...

Sounds good because only the previous owner knows where the bodies are buried. If its running good thats a great start. I would not replace parts until they go ex maybe the fuel pump.

Looking good! For videos you have to post to your yootoob channel, and then copy the link to here (at least that’s the only way I know of)
