Thanks Dave. Good to hear. I was always careful to put ethanol free into the car, but it just isn't available here.
Took the car out for a scenic drive this weekend, and drove down the local region AACA show last weekend. Overall put about 70 trouble-free miles on the car, just cruising around. Of course, added a few things to my maintenance list - the brake lights aren't working for example.
I have a metallic clunk whenever I take off from a stop. I thought it was the u joints, but looking at the exhaust, it is actually touching the frame where it passes through the X in between the muffler and the resonator. The transmission mounts are also freshly painted, but look a little suspect, so maybe that's the problem. Does anyone else have that problem? If your exhaust is not touching, could you post a picture of the mount in that location? I had to make my own, and I'm wondering if something is off - it seems like they shouldn't touch.
Of note - the garage in the house we're currently renting is TIGHT! See the pictures. That's with the car pushed almost against the wall on dollies. Much tighter when I just pull it in.
