Similar in age, when we got our cars, over the years working on them. My wife does not get the car is a puzzle for me, take it apart, freshen it, put it together, repeat.....at least she's ridden in it...3 times I think.

Re: My 1989 Formula after 2 years...

Spent some time on the TPI setup. Bead blasted the Accel super ram manifold and large tube runners, used aluminum paint (Alumi-Blast) on them, left the plenum polished.
Hears some reports that this paint will discolor if it gets gas on it, if so, then I will have everything powdercoated...
Broke a 24# injector getting it out of the fuel rail (been sitting too long), and TransamGTA350 came through with replacements for me - I owe him! The fuel rail is in bad shape - had water mixed in, so I completely disassembled it, and ordered a new adjustable FPR and O ring kit.
