Re: [T3] Wish me luck!


Well, the Fasty is at her  new home in Hamden, CT. After a bit of a
rigamarole with U-Haul, I managed to finally bring her home today, and
as of 11:00pm this fine evening, she's in my garage.

A couple of observations:

She was parked in working order with fresh oil in Sept. 2004 with 2
gallons of fuel in the tank. Obviously that fuel was no good, but with a
fresh batch of fuel she started up (a little hard, but she started hard
back then too). I have this list to thank for the information on needing
to pressurize the fuel loop if the car's been standing.

Now that she's in my garage, I can begin the process of cleaning her up
and getting her running a little better. I got a 25' roll of Goodyear
5/16 fuel line which is first on the agenda, as the #3 injector shows
signs of leaching fuel out the hose. She'll be getting new hose all
around. Then, new brake hoses all around and a full once-over and brake
fluid flush.
