Problems Not Shown in the Photos or Videos
The gas tank is rusty. I took a half-gallon of rust out of it and cleaned it with rocks, water, and dried it with air. It leaks about half-way up the height of the tank, so it can only hold about half a tank. Gas sat in the fuel system for about 4 years. I flushed the fuel lines with clean gas and installed a new fuel filter. Fuel delivery seems fine, but there could be gunk in the lines. The throttle cable is improperly routed and lays directly on the transmission. It seems that a length of cable housing is needed. The battery works but doesn't seem very strong (installed in 2012). The brakes and parking brake work but don't seem very strong. The exhaust smells like gas. It idles high. If I turn the idle speed down, the engine stalls. Work Done in 2001 Info available upon request Work Done in 2012 Installed "engine kit" Installed new battery, battery cables, fuel pump, rubber fuel lines, and carburetor Checked engine compression, general condition, fluids, etc Inspected and adjusted brakes Fixed wiring issues in brake/running lights Mechanic's notes: "The van is a good driver. Feels safe and no known issues problems with running gear." "This van seems very dependable.. We let it sit a couple days and it fired right up..

Work Done in 2016 Topped up brake fluid Drained and filled transmission Cleaned out old gas and gas tank Flushed fuel lines with clean gas Installed new fuel filter Carb work (not sure what) Cleaned distributor Timed engine If you'd like any more info, photos, or videos, please ask.
