Subject:Update on my '88GL restore project

Fuel injectors were installed. Engine start tried. Ran but rough.
Replace the plug wires on driver side - engine smoothed out - but one
lifter is clattering like crazy. Ran for about 20-30 minutes until
engine warmed up, no change. Added half a bottle of Marvel's Mystery Oil
to the engine oil. Ran for 30 minutes. noted an oil leak around the
large pulley at the rear of the van. Not sure the actual cause - just a
slow oil drip onto the ground. Must check out more thoroughly tomorrow.
New power steering rack gets installed tomorrow also.

Progress!! Yea!
