Mckinney,

So I've cured the smoking, the major obstacle that ultimately would determine the cars fate. I put about 30 miles on it tonight and the check engine light came on just as I pulled in at home. I'm guessing a fuel trim code. I'm also still fighting an electrical gremlin, the battery and brake light come on after start up but go away after the engine hits 3500rpms. Not sure about that
I also re painted the engine bay. This car lived a long life with tools on its fenders. In the fender area and strut towers, the finish had been rubbed down to the primer in some spots. Southern car no rust at all
The fuel pump issue is getting pretty drastic, otherwise the car drives fine.
Any suggestions for what I should ask when the car is finished. 179k miles but has new everything and great compression
