Welcome Pilgrim!
Glad to have you on board! Best advice you can receive, is read,read,and then read! It's really the only way to get to know and enjoy your vehicle and still have money to purchase the go-fast parts, instead of wasting the money on new headgaskets!
And don't be afraid to post your location, there may be other members close by that can help you out when you need it, or vice-versa.
Again, WELCOME!
