    just picked up a 94 roadmaster, black with wood grain outside and tan leather inside. I'm looking to make it road ready for long trips and maybe a few Quick take offs. It needs paint and a good cleaning. It runs good but has squealing coming from engine compartment and has a quick hesitation while driving like a misfire. I think the squeal is a tension pulley and the hesitation from optic distributor due to small water leak above some were around water pump. I intend to replace optic/wires/plugs, water pump, all hoses and clamps, and what ever is making that squealing.

    Welcome aboard! Congrats on your wagon - sounds like you've got it diagnosed correctly. Keep us posted on your progress. What's the plans to improve the acceleration - head/cam swap? Throttle body upgrade?

    This will cure the acceleration problem:
