Glad to see you kept your Sedan and persevered!!

'86's were the last year with real distributors - so you can check your timing and adjust. Usually when the fuel pump goes south it just don't run.

Did you iron out all your nagging electrical issues? I remember the gremlins had you in fits!

You Grill is very distinctive!! Looks like you yanked out some cross-bars and re-chromed?Looks Great with the blacked out headlight bezels!!

What size tires you running?

Nice looking paint. If you want to stay stock on the wheels, the used OE rims that Paul has a lead on would look great color matched to your paint.

Thanks, The ones on the blue car are refurbished and look like brand new ( I purchased a complete set of 4 and kept my original wheels as a spare). There used to be a guy on ebay that sold them. I think it was called phoenix wheels or something like that. He was out of Rhode Island.
