    Looks good. May want to check your power steering line(high), looks like its leaking.

    yeah it was. the pic of engine was 1 i took a lil while ago yeah it was leaking quite good it got to where at a stoplight smoke would roll out from under hood it seems to me like running a rubber power steering hose 2 inches off exhaust manifold was a factory design flaw.(appreciate it though (good eyes))

    if you have the technical knowhow, take the high pressure hose off, take it to Tractor supply. They should be able to remove the old hose from the fittings and press a new one on there for ya.

    Re: just washed my (89)

    no it was the right 1 but every where else i went it was like a 100 or more but the hose i bought the first time for over a hundred had a fitting on it to plug in another line that i didnt need for my car and there was no plug for it with the hose so i took it back and went to 1 last place orileys auto parts and he brought me the wrong 1 first then went back and brought out the right 1 and i dont even think it 40 i think it was actually more like 30 blew my mind needless to say i jerked his arm off to get it lol.still never did figure out what the other fitting was for on other line though

    Damn, looks very clean...I like everything about the car with the exception of the stripes....to me those kind of stripes belong on muscle cars...I dunno, just how I feel about it tho. Looks great otherwise
