Falcon 19 footer - 1986 - newbie with questions

Grouch thats a great idea. We're supposed to leave for georgia tomorrow but the van had a few other issues that needed to be addressed. I took it to Firestone for a new power steering pump return hose, new master cylinder and brake booster and a small exhaust leak in that little metal tube that comes of the cat converter. This van has been a money pit for the last month+ but the old girl is worth fixing up. Once it's done, it'll be ready for another 100k of trouble free miles I think.
