Okay so long story short I finally got the wife's truck running, however it will not go over 40 mph, now I do understand that this is a small engine but I'm pretty sure it use to go at least 60, keep in mind it has sat for six years with out maintenance and with out ever being moved, trust me it has taken a lot of TLC just to get this thing back to running condition however I was wondering if it should go faster than 40 mph. This was my wife's very fist car and we had the opportunity to buy it back (supposeable it just needed a new fuel pump and only sat for a few months, it sat for six years actually). Any and all advice on where to find the cheapest OEM parts for this thing IE, I need at least one more seatbelt, a new tail light cover, new shift boot (pretty easy to get), new rubber spacers for the entire truck, new shocks, new fuel sending unit, new wheel cylinders, and at this time I think that is it.

Thank you in advance,
Rodney

What work did you do to get it running? I assume a basic tune up was performed?
