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!! -------------------- GVR4 866/1000 = the perpetually broken car

yeah would love an rt/tt. Unfortunately the stang will need more work before it can be sold for enough to get one lol.
though likely if it ever gets sold, i'm buying a late model. gettin too old for performance on the street, and lots of dirt tracks in the area. -------------------- 1978 Mustang II King Cobra
