Made a mistake in spelling :)
Im about 250 south of kansas city...i got the van 1 week ago, and it was
running fine then, just that Stalling from time to time, but after i started
working on and twisting every little srew on the engine, i guess i messed it
up even more, it runs now to just has a lot of black smoke comming out the
excaust and it runs at 1200 and 3000 rpm.
The guy a Neighbor i got the Van from is a Service tech for chevys, and he
told me he put new brakes on it, brand new air filetr box assembly...witch is
true because i can see it . He Overhault  the tranny. etc
I put new spark plugs in and oil change etc.
No leaks either oil or coolent. It does not over heat or any lights
flickerring on the dash.also no leak on my brand new concrete driveway.
The whole dashboard assmply is new, new speedometer and RPM meter etc. Looks
nice VDO.No cracks in Dash or so..Oh yeah got a crack in th ewindschild, but
passed safty check, so its not that bad i guess, tieres are good too.
Ahhh what else ?? oh yeah  it says 9750 miles on that new speedometer I think
the total milage is around 100 000 or so.
I also think im the 3rd. owner because i still got the records showing up  to
60 000 miles in 95  from the first onwner who keep record over every
oilchange and so.
let me know what u think. By the way i dont even have the Title back yet from
the Motor vehicle Place...guess takes couple weeks or so
