You guys are welcomed here any time. I can keep the beer, barbeque, internet and pizza flowing all day. I'm Italian, we like to feed people and I definitely could use the help. My garage is metal and old. The garage you see in the pics belongs to the previous owner. I wouldn't make the mistake of putting another car in there. Last time I did, mice got into the interior of my 65 GTO and destroyed the headliner within two days...I do all the work needed outside in my driveway. I have the electric, air tools etc...
I used to have a 66 GTO, but got married and let her go.
Glad to see you had a productive day and got her fired up..
Congrats!!

Congratulations on your car. Please use search and read the posts on why you shouldn't be using a K & N air filter. Short version: It can damage your MAF.
Good Luck!
Good Luck!

Fuel tank cleaning
I was having problems with an '87. I finished it by taking the tank out. There's a tarry sludge that builds up in the bottom. It will melt in the sun, and dissolve in soapy water. Mine had a "plug" build up in the 10 mm return line to the fuel tank. I used some "Crud buster" soap and pressure washed it and all the crap was cleaned out. Don't know what it is that creates this sludge, but it was from the fuel, wasn't sugar, wasn't wanted.

Got a lot done today!!! Worked on the car from 5:45 am to 6:00 pm
Changed the fuel hoses with Roger's kit.
Checked for fuel leaks (none)
Rewired all the affected wires from minor fire.
Re-installed the center console.
Found a few more ground points, cleaned their connections/contacts.
Changed out all the fuses with fresh one's.
Cleaned the throttle body.
Checked for spark.
Installed new K&N air filter.
Cleaned motor & undercarriage with "Engine Brite Gel".
Fixed the sunroof, which did not work when I bought the car. Works great now!
Cranked her over and she started right up, stronger than ever! She lives!!!!
What a great day...
