I towed this thing out to a mechanic buddy of mine back in 2012 because it would start, run for thirty seconds, die and then wouldn't start again for a few hours. It was my son's car and he was leaving for Maryland so he wasn't in a hurry for it to get fixed. I was working 12+ hours six days a week and had three cars so I wasn't in a hurry to get it fixed. My buddy didn't need the money and said he'd get around to fixing it when he could. Five years later his wife divorced him and ordered the thing off the place so he brought it back to me tonight, untouched but for rolling on and off dollies. Less than 100k, standard and was running great until my son and his buddies tried to jump start it with the cables backwards.

Um...Replace fusible links.

Hehe. Possibly the battery as well.

yup to all. sumbitch spins over great. I pulled all four plugs this morning and all smelled gas fouled + were mismatched (Autolites and an AC) - fucking hate people who mismatch plugs, never mind two of the shittiest US brands in an import engine. There's a control module inside the distributor cap + pickup coils that look like they've never been replaced so.....
