a happy day

for the 1st time since I bought my 88 vert in July, it has not leaked any fluid

no oil
no ps fluid
no brake fluid
no coolant

drove from Ft Lauderdale to Naples and back today, top down, stereo blasting, ran 1/4 on the temp guage @ 80mph / 3300rpm

and finally, 190 miles with 1/4 tank still left

THIS is why I bought it

congratulations. Too bad not everyone talks about the good things happening with their cars. Only the bad.

No one needs technical advice on how to fix their working car.

There is plenty of positive threads; look at any that involves the improvements after a mod.
