Well, the ol' Grey Ghost ('88 Laredo) finally clocked 200K yesterday. On top of that, I passed CA Smog today too.
Failed my first smog with high HC and CO (flagged as Gross Polluter). I knew it was running a bit rich. Put in a new O2 sensor (Bosch), cleaned/gapped plugs, ran some FI cleaner through it. Ran the snot out of it for 200 miles. What a difference it made.
Also my AC has been weak for a while now. I finally committed 2 cans of my precious R12 supply. BAM!! blows low 40s. It's still a bit low but I have only 1 can left. Last AC service was nearly 5 years ago. Next time it will be a conversion.
I'm ready for the next 200K.
