more bad luck for me
got the car i have always wanted, 91-92 formula tpi stick with t-tops and black interior, guess what should have left it alone, decided to take the original 5-speed out and put the tremic 6-speed i had in, did that and the cultch went the next day centerforce came apart, put another clutch in and start to dive the car again, heat it kind lousey not sure why, i put a new alum edelbrock water pump and be cool rad in over the summer [ wanted it to stay cool in traffic as the car is a commuter car] open the radiator its empty, car has started to run ****** when you first start it up so i think its headgasket, car smokes a hell of alot when you start it, going to barrow a pressure tester from work, if it is car will be sitting for awhile other things
need to get done first, i will take the firehawk rims off and finnish putting the power window motors in and button up the 4th gen center console i have for the car park it and cover it up for now,

if the exhuast smells sweet, blown headgasket maybe cracked head/block but highly unlikely

i have driven thinrgens for the last 5 years as commuter cars, had only one car in all that time brake down on the parkway, was the fuel pump and that same car got hit and pushed into the guardrail a month later, this just really sucks because its the car i always wanted,
right now i am very sick so i am not doing anything untilli feel better, not like i have to go anywhere,
got your pm and replyed to it,
also now could be the time to put the 383 with accell super ram and find a procharger in,

i am such a lucky dog, car has had a header exhaust leat ant the y-pipe since i got the car and never fixed so so its gotten worse, ended up cooking one of the hoses to the heater core, so it was spraying in a small stream onto the header and plug wires, cause of the miss and the opening from mot having a gasket anymore caused the anti freeze to get into the exhaust that was the smell at the tail pipe with the smoke, put plugs in it placed the hose put anit freeze in and stared her up, ran fine, now the challange it replacing the header gasket, got to love that heater box,
