Maintenance Pics
I am almost done with the maintenance on my '85 4+3 Stock. I purchased it about 2 months ago and quickly realized that it NEVER had anything done besides oil changes.
Maintenance/Mods Performed:
Last week:
-Cleaned the TB & IAC
-TB Bypass
-MAF Screens Removed
It ran better, but still a little rough.
Last night:
-Coil (Hypertech)
-HEI (Accel)
-Distributor & Rotor (Hypertech)
-Wires (Accel 9000)
-Plugs (Bosch Platinum +4)
Dang! The girl really moves now! Smooth! I expected an improvement, but this is unreal.
See some 'before' pics. (If these don't work, someone let me know ASAP and I'll redo them. Thanks!)
(Links Edited - Try These)
TB - That's not shadow. That's black! Plenum needs cleaning, too.

Plugs - I'm surprised it even ran with these!

I was not able to see your pics.
Maintenance is a good thing. The 86' I bought last year had also seen "light maintenance". The best part was the first brake fluid flush. Apparently it was using Coca-Cola for brake fluid!
