Congrats! Sweet Rig you got there.

Seafoam is GOD, search the tech section I did a write up the President of Sea-foam got involved!

GL! What are your plans besides to MAINTAIN IT?

Thanks for all the comments and compliments guys. It is in original condition right down to the battery and serpentine belt.

Far as upkeep she's going in tomorrow for an a/c recharge. If I have time today I'll get the oil changed and all the u-joints greased. I can here a slight squeak in the rear end when I go in reverse so I might have a dry joint or cup at the pinion yoke, or have a break shoe hanging up.

Because this thing sat for so long at different intervals I"m sure there'll be a few things that need lubrication or replacement.

One of my first mods is going to be a K/N cold air intake system. The factory stereo works fine but it lacks so I need to find a DIN and a half head unit with a CD receiver. Then I can take out the factory CD unit and replace it with a pocket. Will the perfect stow for my cell phone. Next will be some catch-all floor mats throughout.

She's got quite a bit of rake right now. It rides so nice I hate to have the torsion bars cranked at all. But looks a bit dorky to.

Ok guys I ran the seafoam through the Hoe. Hardly any smoke. I pulled off the pvc line and poured in the 1/3 pint. No smoke. Waited the 5 minutes. Still no smoke. Poured in some in the vacum line that leads to the brake booster just like the youtube video showed. No smoke. WTF? Poured rest in gas tank. My buddy and I were waiting to piss everybody off with smoke, but notta!

no smoke is a good thing. Means inside is relatively clean and there isn't fuel deposits or carbon built up.. id be happy if i was you

I am happy. But we were so hoping for a smoke show just to piss off the neighbors. But now I can concentrate on changing out the universal joints on both driveshafts. Also noted a leak on driver side of front differential. Looks like a seal leak where axle shaft enters the differential.
