Alright, I know it has been awhile since I last posted. I have the car running great. I fixed the fuel problem, and since I have moved on to even greater things. The clutch was givving me fits, harder than hell to depress the pedal, I pulled the motor, turns out the car was originally an automatic, they did a great job converting it to a five speed, but they used an 83 t5, no big deal right? wrong! it wouldn't have been a big deal if they had used all the proper parts when they converted it, but they used an 83 flywheel and an 88 clutch kit. Why is this a big deal? well, it turns out the earlier model used a ten inch clutch, whereas the later model used a 10.5 inch clutch. big difference. The center of the clutch disk was always grinding on the flywheel and therefore the clutch was never fully engaging. I went with the ten inch clutch kit, turned down the flywheel to get rid of the wear and burn marks, and wow did it ever liven the car up!
As of now, the car is in the body shop, complete paint job! A buddy who has his own garage owed me a favor or two, so he is re-doing the whole car for 1200 bucks, can't beat a deal like that! I hope to post a few pics after the rejuvination is complete.

By the way, does any one know where I can get a good deal on some new upholstery, I have some new seats to put in but the upholstery is so damn expensive.
