got my 83 cat running!! September 11, 2010, 11:54:14 PM Finally got my 83 cougar running again last weekend after a lot of work by my dad and I. It's running nice and fairly smooth though the choke isn't responding properly so it idles really high. Though it is just great to be running again after all summer working on it. Quote Selected

Though it is just great to be running again after all summer working on it.I wish I was at this point! When I got the car first thing I did was change plugs, wires and such. It ran decent for a while but now I am having difficulties in keeping it running. It runs okay for about five minutes then it wants to stall and it's difficult to start again. Regardless, after the cats warm up it's a disaster and then it's just time to park it. Quote Selected

got my 83 cat running!! Reply #7 – September 25, 2010, 07:16:02 PM Thanks everyone I really appreciate it. Yeah that leather interior... sigh. Will get done eventually. Any color suggestions for replacement vinyl? Don't want anything too dark as the car is black enough and I live in the desert. Thanks sarjxxx I really like the color scheme with the black then red pinstripes then gray as well. It is original too so definitely want to keep the same idea though it does need repainting.
