83 5kt stall out

[Tex Terry, II]

Bob  -  As per your message below, I will check the hoses for worn
condition and for vacuum leaks.  I have one cooler (radiator) on the
drivers side at an angle, and another cooler centered in front of the
engine (I think this is for the transmision, but not sure).  The turbo has
a rubber hose/metal pipe combination from the fuel distributor (above the
air filter box) and a short rubber hose/metal pipe combination elbow from
the turbo tp the intake manifold.  If I remember correctly, I was told a
few months back that I do not have an intercooler or the hose that has been
called the "michelan man" hose.  Okay, now, according to Tony and Bob, I
have to 
1)change the fuel and oil 
2)check all the hoses and pipes for vacuum leaks.
Please keep the directions coming folks, as my wife definitely wants this
car back on the road now since she heard it restart (she loves this for the
comfort and since it was our wedding limosuine) .
Thanks,  Tex.
