Oh, you're the guy who bought that one.  Nice purchase..I figured it ran fine, it looked fine anyhow.  I live about 10 minutes from where that car was located, so if you need some help or have any questions, let me know.  I have two cars with this engine, and I have been in and out of the whole car.  Check out my site for any other things you might want to know.

Thanks for the offer! I'm sure I'll have more questions...especially when I get the engine and tranny pulled! As far as the car..well..looks can be deceiving. It may have looked decent in the pictures, but it truly is a project car. I mean we had to knock the ignition out with a hammer and chisel just to get it started. We forgot to bring along a steering wheel puller...and the key we had made just busted off in the ignition that someone messed up! :( We did get it home though. I drove the whole way home with no power assisted brakes, only 5 cylinders (one plug wire was missing), and no headlights..just driving lights! I have all those problems fixed now though. I got the ingnition out of my wrecked GP..and I replaced all the plug wires. Now I just need to pull the starter and see what's wrong with it, because it won't engage. :( After that, she should run!!! :) Then the restoration work begins! :)

Oh..btw..eclipse5302...are you a member of clubGP? Even if you aren't, you should check out the WI chapter of it. I recently finished rebuilding the site, and it's being run by new people...me included! New members are always welcome! :)
