1.. the car is missing the air pump belt, and i have no idea for how long its been missing. meaning my luck. the actuators and stuff are stuck on the ports. which is no bueno. cuz no one wants to lose power. haha. whats the chance of you knowing part numbers for all belts ill need and where to get them. i was gonna see about replacing all of them. seeing as how to do the air pump. two of the belts have to come off anyway.
and 2. it has high miles. like 166k high. however it doesnt smoke hardly at all. one of the mufflers has a hole in it and im assuming thats where the little smoke is from. cuz it only smokes from that side. my 87 had 125k and smoked like a siv. my question is, is that good, im hoping cuz i really dont want to change the engine out yet. hes giving me another block, supposedly rebuilt but i have no proof so i dont buy it. but hell its another engine. i was planning on doing a compression test when i get it. but i want a little reassurement from people who know that its p rolly got life left. eveything ive seen was if it dont really smoke even on startup your golden. at least i hope thats the case
