I'm surprised how much of this car is original considering how many miles are on it (100k). I replaced the PCV yesterday and I'm pretty sure the hose for that (which was rock hard and very crispy) was original. I've never seen a spring retain that much of it's original yellow either. This car was just a commuter for years so it was just maintained and not mucked with. We found a few receipts for work done in the late '90s replacing a handful of parts here and there to keep it on the road.

The trans is leaking pretty bad. I thought it was the pan gasket, but maybe that solenoid is contributing. As of right now, all the hoses for the advance are rotted through or uncapped so it's safe to assume it's getting no advance at all.
