The battery is brand new and it seems to hold a charge quick well. The car actually started in 10 degrees Fahrenheit this winter. It took a few cranks but I'm pretty sure the whole electrical system is working pretty well.

It never seems to run hot but I'm not so certain about the dash panel reading accurately. The RPM guage doesn't work so I need to clean all the grounds behind the dash.

I'm not sure about any of the fittings but when i replaced the gasket I did not see any cracked fuel lines.

I want to change the timing belt because I don't want the engine to detonate. I am hesitant to change all the rollers and belts. I am still hoping to switch over to a ls1 v8 soon and I'd rather not put $250 into an engine that can't sell for more than $200.

I will be taking the car out as often as possible before I take the long trip just to make sure everything is up to par.
