it's my slug.

 

Hey Gang,

 

New to me '87 GL wagon with 5 speed D.R.. Car sold new in Pueblo Colorado, recently brought here so the body is very good, considering the age. Everything works on the car, even the A.C. 170 K on the odometer, no leaking oil, no seeping anywhere. White with the darker blue interior. Manual windows, March '87 build, no cat, no cpu, low power, the Justy I just sold walks all over it in a drag race. lol But...it has the "majic lever". It will do for now. Needs shifter bushings and the carb gone through. I've rebuilt about 50 carbs over the years. It does have the high altitude kit on it and it was suposedly deactivated. Need to check the timing, vacume advance. Got to be a little more power in there somewhere. Runs clean on 89 Citgo, book calls for 90 octane so a little more, quicker advance might be in order. Oh, btw, this ain't my first rodeo (Subaru) It's a "body in white" blank canvas. For power, 3.0 on the fender and under that bonnet would be sweet. Just a matter of time till one is available. Anyway, this car rocks off road in the hills, on the trails I regularly ride. I plan to take it to Snowshoe, W.Va. soon for skiing. It will do as is for now. Later on.
