Twice. Cooled down and driving again and now gone and drives fine. Was running rough so definitely misfiring. Anyway, I'll update the main thread later.

Great! My 100th "like" was for making fun of Joey. Sorry, dude.

Did my rear bake pads, prepped for a little camping trip next weekend. Finished buttoning up the dual battery setup... Was going to be this weekend (solstice and all) but the daughter has a house sitting gig and next is more convenient for everyone.

I'm always reluctant to "like" something that sucks. But it's the Internet. So like, what are you gonna do?

Sorry to hear this man. This sucks.
Too soon to tell you you should've got a 3FE?!?!
I have a 2F in my 60, puts your fancy shmancy "fuel injection" to shame

In an effort to brighten up this thread... I used my 80 to drive my son to his high school baseball games this morning, stopped and fished for a little while on the way home and caught some nice bass. Then washed her up because I got a phone call and...wait for it...I GOT A JOB MOFO'S! So I will be driving my 80 to my "Offer Meeting" tomorrow! WOOHOO! Let the hunt for 80 #3 begin!!!

Today I finally finished the replacement of HG, starter, alternator, p/s pump and gear box, all TRE's, engine wire harness, many hoses, trans temp gauge, and trans service. She runs smoother than ever! I also installed a new OEM oil pressure sender and now the gauge is all over the place. Think I will go back to the old leaky sender and see what happens. Maybe it's time for an after market pressure gauge. Another note is that, I bought an infrared thermometer and it seems that the OEM water temp gauge reads the same from about 150 up to max temp I saw in various places on the engine and cooling system with the infrared thermometer.
