Don't know if everyone saw my post over in Chit Chat asking about an 80, but here:https://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?t=51414 . I got it today!! Guy drove it down from Charlotte-area and came over to my house and we got eveything signed and I was immediately out the door(without tags ) to have some fun. She drove beautifully. I'm already in love!
The bad: as soon we had signed all the papers and I handed him the check. He handed me the keys and said, "Oh, BTW, the check engine light came on one time on the way down here from Charlotte. But she cruises nicely at 85mph so I don't think it's anything to worry about." Putz. He left and I already knew it had a leak when I saw it before so I popped the hood to take a closer look. Leakage around the distributor cap area. I'm doing a whole PM job on it soon so hopefully that'll fix it.
I close her up and trek out towards downtown and over Charleston's newest landmark The Ravenel Suspension bridge(largest in the western hemisphere ). About an hour and half later, the CE light comes on and stays on. Oh well, I'll run her past Napa tomorrow to run the code. Hopefully I didn't get hosed. I still love it!
