GOLDIE'S ALIVE!!!

Well I bought a new starter for $80 at O'Reilly. Bosch reman. That seemed to do the trick! Although it took FOREVER to get it to finally start. My suspicion is that there is somehow air entering the fuel system. I did a valve adjustment yesterday (the lobes of the cam are supposed to be at 1 o'clock for both I and E valves, right?!) and it runs amazingly well, but has a lopey idle at times.

Virtually non-existent blow-by :-)

Not bad for a car that sat for 10 years.

This car will most likely be for sale in the coming months, if you or someone you know is interested. I'll make details available later and obviously post it in the PP classifieds.

Thanks!!!

Now to figure out why the wipers don't work...
