A little over one year has passed since that 'good day' when I replaced the starter. Shortly after, two more starters bit the dust. I ended up having the car towed to a friend who had done work on my '92. A new job, a move, various unforeseen circumstances with my friend and chasing down a vibration that popped up kept the car there for...8 months.
Now the good news. While 0327 was there, I took advantage of the opportunity and threw all the parts I could at it, including: water pump, all new hoses, various vacuum hoses, had the original radiator gone through, master cylinder, brake booster, clutch, flywheel, starter, alternator, wiring repairs, rebuilt steering shaft, rear bearings, power steering hose, rebuilt the original carb, full tune-up, and all fluids replaced.
I picked up the car last weekend and drove it the 30+ miles home at 60-65mph with zero issues. Here it is back in October loaded up.
