[V8] 1990 V8 5spd

[Ed Kellock]

Bought my 91 in June of 99 with 99k miles.  Opal Mica, grey sport.
Currently 142k, pulsation free UFOs, and original clutch.  Previous owner
had t-belt go at 85k.  Rebuild was monkey-lad at its best, at a dealer
(supposedly) no less.  Never has run right.  Much improved with proper cam
timing when I did a t-belt job at 130k or so (thanks V8 list!).  Still has a
leaky ring or nicked valve... very uneven firing pulses when lugged.  92 4.2
donor car in the wings.

PS There's a cyclamen/grey one in FL for sale right now that was sold/bought
here (COS) and migrated SE.  Been treated to a lot of TLC by a former
factory trained Audi tech who really appreciates the "ur" cars. I think it
has about the same miles as mine.
