engine and drivetrain Issues to sort through

[Collinster742002]

For everyone that's been following my thread on little red, I got her running and driving properly again today. Before we make her a weekly driver again, however, there are many issues I need to get taken care of.

1) Distributor Housing Gasket- Gonna change that out this weekend (Wish luck)

2)Tires have horrible flat spot in them- should we switch the rims?

3) Rumble while driving- Is it the guibo or the tires?

4) Bumper and trunk damage

5) Shifter shakes, even though engine runs smoother than silk...motor mounts?

6) Transmission makes whining noise in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears- had fluid drained and filled with synthetic, read in the haynes manual that the noise won't hurt anything. 4th gear sounds fine.

7) Tach won't work sometimes when car sits and is started back up- giving it a bump on the dash gets it going. Is this indicative of a loose connection or something?

8) Engine is dirty as hell. Any reputable engine steam cleaning businesses close to Durham, North Carolina anyone knows about?

Sorry to dump all these out at once, but its great to have her running and driving again and we want her to be a weekly driver ASAP.
