Getting Car Ready for summer

Hello,

I have two quick questions as I get the car out for the summer. During heavy rains I have noticed water around the edge of the TBI lid. Is this caused by the seal for the hood or the vent plate that is on the hood of the Formula? Also an unrelated question, I bought some suspension components that have greasable poly bushings and I was wondering where to get a gun with the proper fittings and what type of grease to use.

Thanks in advance,
Steve

I got the grease situation under control. Does anyone know about the water around the tbi air filter lid?

check the seal around the back of your hood some ppl remove this to allow engine heat to escape but it allows water to drip down onto the dizy and possibly the tbi lid.

The seal is still there, but it is probably worn out. I try replacing that first. Thanks.
