just got back from a halloween weekend in maine. After going back to the stock air cleaner box & new fresh air tube from ebay (and with the filter that came with the used box) - a bottle of redline fuel system cleaner and some 98 octaine gas, i managed to average a whopping 28.2 mpg up. blew my mind. on the way back - for the first 150 miles before hitting the merritt i averaged 59 mph (was driving conservative to see how high i could get) and 30.1 mpg.
amazing.
then, pulling into brooklyn to get some beer @ 11pm - acrid smoke from the hood - pressure gauge rising. appears i burned out the cooling fan motor, which i am not sure ever worked.
new one is on the way from fcpgroton, with some grille clips & a K&N filter for the box.
left the headlight wiper motors up there for a future project. didn't do much else with the car other than a leather treatment, glass, and vacuum.
so am going to put in the fan as soon as it gets here (hopefully tmrw, but probably wednesday) then i have to put the car in for the PCV system & timing belt.
