My 250 dollar rig.
This ole girl sat in a barn for 20 years with a blown head gasket. The guy sold it to me with 105,xxx original miles and gave me an extra engine for 250 bucks.

Won't start?
I started my 84 today it started up after some "Persuading" and ran really good for about a minute. Then all of the sudden it starts missing and killed itself. I want to say It starved itself for fuel I am kinda guessing it gelled up it was about 22F and its got kinda crappy fuel.- 84-6.9IdI
