We have a 1993 Ford Thunderbird Supercoupe for sale. It is a one owner car, and has always been extremely fast and reliable. A buyer came to see it today, and of course it wouldn't run. It starts fine, idles for a few seconds, then dies like it's starving for fuel. But it is getting plenty of fuel. We are going to start with a simple tune-up and see where that takes us. On friday, we removed the stock 302 from the 1968 fastback, and Todd brought over the newly built 390 for us to install. It is a pretty engine, and hopefully will fall right into place with no issues. We have an apprentice in the shop today who is beginning to weld the floors in the 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T. It is nice to get some help. Meanwhile, we are still working on the Ghia, replacing every gasket in the intake, hoping to solve our air problem. I think i will post a tech bulletin to iATN tommorrow if that didn't fix it. I am on my way to go play some Curtis Earth trivia this evening, hopefully we can snap a bad Vehicle Re-Creations losing streak.
