I'm a little hunk of tin, nobody knows what shape I'm in. I've got four wheels and a running board, I'm not a Chevy, I'M A FORD!
Engine has never been apart. Just the usual timing belt replacement and replaced the valve cover gasket once. The clutch has NEVER been adjusted. (only use it for starting off and shifting from 1st to 2nd because of the Festy's "Granny Gear" 1st.) She smokes a little but at almost 20 years old it's her decision so I can live with that.
The key to longevity is "maintainance" ..... too much is BAD. The oil and filter gets changed somewhere between 10k and 24K miles (Really)!!! Tune - up, what's a tune - up ? I only tune it up (kinda) when it starts missing. It is on it's 3rd fuel pump. The second one was a P.O.S., Real noisy, and the third one is an Auto Zone special. Quiet as a mouse .
I'm trying for a half million miles but I'm Retiring next Sept. so that cuts out 400 miles a week. So the "Mighty Festivious" might outlast Me. LOL.
Once you're retired you can drive to all the meets around the continent. That will help you get to half a million
