I haven't driven it that much considering the guides were either broken or missing and it didn't start or run very well until it warmed up.
The valves and guides haven't been done.
Here's what I've done so far:
1. Fix intake manifold and assorted vacuum leaks. It passed the emissions test with flying colors.
2. Fix fuel pump problems, such as a disconnected fuel pump, replace check valves, hoses, accumulator, clean the rust off the bracket.
3. Replace ball joints.
4. Fix cold start valve problem, actually I added a diode to the fuel pump relay to energize the valve during starting which is what the FPR does anyway, and resolder the FPR.
5. Replace the O2 sensor but I cannot get a reading from it. I think a four wire would be better.
6. Clean the interior since it was really dirty.
