just wanted to thank everyone again for the advice and to give an update. i went to cleveland today to check out the car ive been thinking about for little over a week now. and yes , i brought it home lol.there is a few issues i'll have to deal with but all in all it rode excellent. averaged 75 mph or so for the 170 mile trip home and it was suprisingly smooth. and the good part was , that it got 25.2 miles per gallon on the highway. gotta love that
anyways i'll try to get some pics up tommorow. thanks again guys

Its a good cruiser car, it's the first with the 700r4 4 speed overdrive automatic transmission. They also came with a composite monoleaf spring for the rear suspension. The reason the crossfire injection system has a knick on it's reputation is that the intake manifold itself was choked down. If you were to remove it, you'll notice that the ports on the intake are signifigantly smaller than those on the cylinder head which restricts the airflow to the cylinders. The problems i had with mine were vacuum leaks, and other normal things you would get with an older car. But overall easy to work on.
