Woo hoo! Got the timing perfected today. It runs like a whole other car now! It accelerates when I step on the pedal and much less smoke! Of course once I move the AC over from the 1982 it will probably slow down again. LOL

I'll change the oil and run two cans of diesel purge through it next weekend and I think I may be about ready to go get it inspected. I'm excited to almost have a daily driver again!

It still needs a lot of work. Paint, (It's like 5 different colors on the various doors, hoods, sunroof, etc.) and a front suspension rebuild. But it's coming along...
