Performed Seafoam treatment (via PCV & brake boost), changed plugs, changed factory spring COP wires to Granatelli, changed fuel filter FG-800A, oil and oil filter this past weekend.


The car is now a beast! I have been missing out on this kind of performance for a while. The tires are breaking loose without brake torquing. If you have not performed maintenance beyond an oil change lately, do it, you’ll like the results. 76K mi. :)

Sounds good. Im a bit afraid of Seafoam at 160k ...might show me something I'm not trying to deal with at the moment

...will put the others on the list to do. Can you tell me more about the granatelli COP. And I suppose the fuel filter is the "bigger" one?

I've read that if there is a underlying issue that seafoam will reveal it. Although my car runs great with no issues I just wouldn't want to get a surprise issue. Maintenance is kept on her though. Timely oil changes, fluids still fresh.

You won't be able to see anything through the smoke cloud, so go for it. :beer:

The Granatelli wires are 28-1705S. I didn't get the COPs (Coil Over Plug). I re-used the factory ones.

The fuel filter is the bigger one. I think I had to buy a bracket, nylock nut and spacer (nut) to mount it to smaller bracket.
