I think i finally got my '85 245 running again! it's still a little early to tell, but Upon Changing/ flushing radiator hoses, replacing t-stat, and the swapping teh litel silver box that mounts on the same rail as the 25 amp fuse, Ia ran a little better. Then I Decided to take the Wise words of Bob (B.C.)to heart. He told me " You can't run a car on Napalm.". Wich got me thinking on how old the gas was(6 months). I went down to the local Discount Auto and got some fuel treatment, and seeing as the guage was in the reserve I went and got 5 gallons of premium to mix in(alon with the needed items for a 940 oil change). Put the gas in and rocked the car to mix it. The car started and ran 98% better! I even had the corage to take it around the block a couple of times. Now upon restarting it does puff a little black smokes and has to be revved to get it to idle right , but it stays running now. Not too far to go now. I might even be able to take it to Mt. Dora .
Thanks for all the help in the past everyone it's finally working Woohoo
