Yesterday I bought an '84 244 DL. It had been sitting for 1.5 years, but after a fresh battery she started right up and drove the 30 miles back to my house. For you seasoned vets out there, what routine things should I do to get her back 100%? It is the B23F, automatic w/overdrive and has 100,500 miles on it. Obviously an oil change and trans flush..but what should I do to it? It is a little bit sluggish on take-off (hesitates when I put my foot in it) and the temp gauge doesn't rise more than 1/8 of the way (only 44 degrees out though). Any help would be appreciated. This is my third brick..had 1980 242 DL and 1977 244 GL that I loved. It's been 10 years since the '77 and I got this '84 for $250!!!!
