Today was a nice day, so I thought I'd get started on the galant. I ended up having to give it a jump as the old battery wouldn't take a charge. I cranked her over for 10 seconds or so with the MPI out and PB blaster down the cylinder walls to get her all lubed up. I put the plugs back in and crossed my fingers that the gas from 2008 would start. She cranked a bit without a pop. I tried her again with my foot to the floor. After 3 or 4 seconds she poped up to 3 grand. I let her drop down and she idled smooth. I didn't want to tempt fate, so I shut her down

Now I just need to swap the timing belt, move the battery to the trunk, replace my UIC pipe( currently made of PVC ) After that I should have her on the road!!

I've got a good used side-post battery from a Yukon if you want/can use it, in good shape only a year or 2 old. $50, was 80 new i think

I ended up buying one for 65. I was happy to start the car right back up on the new battery. I found my plates tonight. Complete with the 2009 sticker they have never been taken out of the plastic. Looks like a trip to the DMV is in order. I think I can get her to my buddy's 3 blocks away with just a plate swaped off the wife's car. I'm hoping to move it tomorrow night. With any luck I can get my timing belt swapped and everything put back together by the end of Thursday night. The weekend I'll be out of town, so I'll have to try to get as far as I can next week.
