Nope, I got it and the original trans. I feel like it with a simple once over and reseal it would come back to life and be fine
just slow haha

So what was the final cause of your intermittent miss? what is the fuel pump, or ignition or ?. will you be buffing it out?

We ended up replacing the fuel pump and the condenser and that was the end of our troubles. Im guessing the fuel pump tho.
Yes, I will be cleaning it up then buffing it. I feel like its going to come out pretty well. I will do an update video of it cleaned in the next few weeks.
