Yes, I know that all too well haha. Especially with a lot of black in my interior. Most everything but the fabric (gray) is black. Black steering wheel, black shifter, black console, dash, etc. Haha I have a picture of it in my garage. It's a pain to drive to school in the morning when it's very cold or very hot.

You're lucky, I got black leather so I have to take more care of my interior.

I definitely do worry about longevity considering I won't likely be wanting to pay to replace it. But my best friend drives a '67 Mustang. he says he has flowmasters on it (it sure as hell sounds like it) and he hasn't had problems like that and i think he's had them for a while.

and as far as the type of oil it takes, it should say on the oil filler cap or in the owner's manual.

that is what it looks like with the TBI

Pop the air cleaner housing and he'll have a TBI looking back at him

ill second that. as for oil, ive always disregarded the calling of 5-30 in an old engine. ive always run 10-40 simply because my stuff is always used and high mileage. and living in arizona, i would highly recomend a thicker oil as well.

yup

my 3rd Gen is a TBI and I'll put one of those chrome air filters on it when I'm done and it will still look like it's a carb at first glance
