 Hey guys, thanks for the support. I'll be honest, this forum was one of the things that cinched me buying the car. The previous owner was on the ball (and a member of JHPS) and had done a lot of the things like replacing the fuel line "T" already. Stuff he hadn't done yet he had bought the parts for (like the new exhaust system) and just hadn't gotten around to putting them on. Typical story, too many projects, not enough time.

@Art, I actually made that very mistake--replaced both radiator hoses because one was dripping but didn't even look at the others. Got back from a short trip and popped the hood to find a fine green mist spraying out of the hose that goes to the intake manifold. Now they're all getting replaced! I should probably replace the thermostat as well as I'm not sure if the PO had done that yet. I believe he had replaced the water pump with a used one.

This weekend I'm hoping to do some more work and will take some pictures and try to start a Project post.
