I just drove it!

Pretty fun.
Not a lot of power. Kinda floaty. Nice transportation.
No water leaks or oil leaks.

I need to go through the brakes. They work fine, but the pedal is a little long and the e-brake needs to be pull ALL the way up. I suspect it needs rear brake shoes.

The ox sensor light is lit on the dash. It idles high ( 1200 rpm's ) and has a faint tickety noise in the valve train.
Do these cars need valve adjustments?

I want to do a compression test, too.

I went to the gas station and back ( under the radar ) and put in some fresh gas.
The manual says 91 RON is that our modern 91 pump gas? That's what I fed it
