The hobby will continue but values will probably fall back down to reasonable prices. Everything is over the top expensive and out of reach for the younger crowd at the moment.

Choke fully open after it's warned up?

I'd be checking at all vacuum lines and vacuum motors.

EGR valve still hooked up?

Electronic ignition will eventually fail no matter what it's but a well built system will last longer.

Back in those days and even into the 90's, the viscosity index improvers in 10-40 sheared and caused sludge issues. That's not the case today with better oil technology.

Roller rockers/lifters?

I wouldn't use an oil thinner than 10w on a flat tappet camshaft. Newer engines with roller setups can tolerate a thinner oil due to less friction. Just my 2 cents.

He's lucky to still be alive considering his immense drug abuse, which continued on into the 90's and led to paranoia early on in his career.

Don't do drugs, kids.
