What did you expect with buying a 20 year old car that has probably had it's fair share of imcompetent owners in it's time? Best of luck to you on getting everything straightened out with it! ;)

starting problem fixed??? we'll see when i put it back together again... bought new spark plug wires from a local shop in vacaville. napa tried to give em to me for $88 from north carolina via UPS... basically they wouldnt get here until next year knowing UPS. they'll be here friday through the independent shop for $65. we fixed a bunch of tweak jobs yesterday and had tweak moments of our own. thats all i can think of right now. later.
