Great info as usual, thanks!

Where would I find non-gas shocks?

And does anyone one know where/what kind of lowering springs I'd need if I wanted to lower? Someone told me not to cut the coils, but more opinions are always welcome.

Bounces about 2-3 times........
Just looking at the stuff available in rockauto.com

Soooo I've been told I need new shocks, whats the difference between Gas Charged and Monotube?
ACDELCO Part # 520166 {GAS CHARGED #88946011}ABSORBER,RR SHK

SACHS Part # 20316A {Super Touring}
Front; Insert

KYB Part # KG4764A {Gas-A-Just}
Rear

Total fluke, I found it 'cause I wasn't looking, I was just Garage sale shopping and fell in love because my Grandpop had a B210 and it reminded me of him. Then I wanted to see if there was anyone else out there who liked them too, and boy did I ever find people! , now that I've seen what great cars they are I'm hooked!

Sweet, Thanks for all the great info, and the troubleshooting.
Looking forward to fixing things up and eeking out whatever power I can get out of her, But your absolutely right, it's quiet, low gas mileage, and in damn good shape, whats not to love!

That would be sweet! It's work on cars/trucks weekend around our place, so no big time constraints around here. PM me your info and we can set up a time.

I'm up on the Issaquah plateau, poor thing will hardly make it up Sahale road. Any pointers when getting the smog gear off?

Lol the DMV in Issaquah tried to set it up as a "Clasic" when I went to register it. Might do it before the year is up so I can run it with the original plates!

Think I will start with the basics, new plugs wires, oil/filter, Distributor cap. Give her a compression test and go from there. Exaust is a bit rusted out as well, gonna take a look tomorrow, 3 day weekend, YAY
