Default SS owner from PA!

I just got a 1987 Monte Carlo SS last week. Alot of work was done to it but also alot of problems. Figured i would join a Monte Carlo forum to help anyone who has problems with their monte. April 15th I will be taking it to Maple Grove Raceway if any from the Tri-State area will be going. I am going to Mechanic school so if anyone has any questions i am more than willing to help out. I also have a program that gives detailed instructions for fixing a car if anyone needs diagrams.
