I spent the last two evenings under the '74 Riviera changing the oil, having the starter rebuilt, checking the wiring, and soaking the cylinders with PB Blaster. I put the starter in tonight, cranked it over, to make sure she wasn't stuck, put the plugs and some fuel in it, and it fired right up and idled smooth. Once the PB burned out of the exhaust, there wasn't any smoke or ticking. YEEHHAAAHHHH!!!! This car was a gift from a friend in Illinois, that I trailored back with a friend from OK this past weekend. It's been sitting indoors since 1988. About the only option it doesn't have is Max track, and they all work! Now I need to get the radiator recored, watch the waterpump, and find new 1/4's. I still need blue armrests, but I belive the '73's are the same. Thanks for listening. Dan :beer
Thanks, Randy! I really didn't set out to start a car lot, really! Until the Rivi, I thought I had bought my last car for a long time, but it was a gift too good to turn down. At least it's now a running and driving project....Dan
