Welcome to the Werkz. Its always good to have another 7er on board.

What issues are you having, or are you just expecting something to come up?

Speedometer not working and gas gauge is all over the place. This is just for starts. Just got the car on Monday and have not had a good chance to really look at everything yet.

Are the miles still ticking over without the speedo working?

These cars have a huge saddle gas tank on them, and they have two fuel level senders, so maybe one of them is struggling with its role in life.
