Just took my '87 to the Chevy dealer with the same symptoms... sometimes when you start it up it goes nowhere, and sometimes it goes right into gear and runs fine.

Cam

I'm surprised no one suggested another cam. Every hot rod I've ever built up started with headers, then cam, then more fuel, then spark, and finally heads when I could afford them.

Is the stock...

Temp guage gone berzerk

My temp guage has gone crazy. It jumps from 150' to 225' and then back to 130' within 5-10 seconds. No air pockets in system and oil temp is normal.

Hood stuck shut

My hood won't open! My best guess is that one of the hood release cables has snapped.

Any idea how to open the passenger side latch without the cable? Is there access through the fender well?

I was over Mustangs long ago, but my wife has never had one.
A '67 Mustang might be a better choice for my project since it can handle a big block someday, but I'll probably start with a Windsor.

Well, the $6300 overseas deal fell through. Shipping costs were not bad, but then the buyer found out he would have to pay 85% in taxes!
