My honest advice would be to dump the TBI
If that's out of the question, just keep it happy and make sure you don't go too heavy, the leaf springs and trans will go before anything else
Hey thanks I’ll look into that, just got a new trans few years ago but I’m sure my leaf springs need replaced

Seems like you're off to a wonderful start. Check the belts, make sure they are not showing signs of dry rot, as well as the upper and lower radiator hoses, heater hoses, and bypass hoses. Be careful with the hose connectors going to the heater core, as they age they become brittle and tend to break. Replacing the radiator cap is also a good idea at some point.
Highly recommend flushing your cooling system and starting with new coolant.
If you have time, and are inclined, drop the fuel tank and flush/clean it. While you have the tank down, look at your fuel pump and check the strainer.
Yeah changing the hoses was next on my to do list I took one off to see how dirty it was and the end just crumbled into pieces so I’m gonna go to the store tomorrow and replace the rest of them. I do plan on dropping the tank once it’s empty (at half a tank of 2yr old gas lol ) but I didn’t think about flushing the cooling system so i’ll definitely get around to that, I’m sure I also need a new radiator cap as my current one is older than I am
