The 15A engine fuse is critical to starting.

Yep that was the one thanx for ure help and if you can can u tell how many quarts of oil does my 1988 take

drain the oil,replace the filter and start off with 4 quarts.
The system I believe holds 6 but there is always residual oil in the cooler.So Unless you drain the cooler you will have less oil that comes out when you change it.(roughly 4 quarts).
Now,you should start reading the ARCHIVES,and also the FAQ's as it has a lot of the usual questions that Newbies are going to ask,
help yourself,and get acquainted with your car.Cheers Styx!~

A gasket would be best, but RTV would work if you can't get a hold of one.
