Thanks for reply. I'm sure that will make a big difference. Everything on this is original other than plugs I changed. I plan to put some miles on it and do all the maintenance this week. Should be a good runner by the weekend.

Thank you. This one will stay as is aside from maintenance. I didnt even want to change the wheels but I did keep all the originals.

Beautiful car lots of luck with it. I would change the fuel filter and check the vacuum lines but everything else everyone said is the right route to go.

Thanks. Theres alot of vacuum lines for sure. I'm going to go through them all. I thought I might get a couple filters and change one now and again after a tank or two of gas. Might be overkill but they're cheap.

Just a quick thanks to all that replied and for your assistance. Car is running pretty well. Little hesitation when I get on it but running some seafoam through a tank or two and will go from there. Old alarm coming out today and new one going in. On the fence as far as exhaust. May want a very slight tone but undecided. Considering window tint as well. Not for cool factor but to protect interior. Otherwise here it is. Old dude enjoying new ride. Peace.

Best thing you can do it start putting miles on it. My 71 t bird sat for 36 years. Got it running and quite literally you could feel it running better mile by mile.

Without going crazy you could get a new high flow cat and a g body catback exhaust with some flowmaster knockoffs. Or skip the cat if you don't have inspections or testing.
