Synthetic oil will not cause an engine , no mater what age , to leak more . It just isn't as economical to use syn. oil if it already leaks .

Exhaust is too big causing it to run rich . At least put a resonator back on .

Find an engine rebuilder .

You can get everything except the bumper mounts at NAPA. Bumper mounts will have to come from Ford dealer

There are 2 or 3 other trans that will swap , but why not get another 700R ? It is the best one for gas mileage as the others are not overdrive .

Just because battery was a smaller physical size , should not have done that to the ac/heat system . You should check around the battery and see if a wire was damaged and caused a short . Smoke and smell leads one to that conclusion .

Apparently this " mechanic " wasn't smart enough to do this one wire at a time ? It does sound like firing order is way off or he screwed the timing up some how . Bet if you quiz him , he will not know this is a Chevy engine and not a Buick .

Only if you have a turbo 400 behind it now , which is doubtfull unless someone swapped trans before you got car .

Either the linkage is out of sinc or something has gotten in the valve body . Trans shop here you come .

Actually any foreign car parts or even NAPA can get it for you

Check out the idlers . A timing belt is basically self adjusting ., if adjusters working properly .

Depends on which freon it takes . In 93 some were R12 and some 134 . If it is a R12 system , then you will need to upgrade to 134 .

Until motor freezes up . But why keep running it ? All you are doing is making sure the crank cannot be turned to rebuild motor . Everytime that crank goes around , a little more metal is eat off .

There is a dye that you can put into the system and if not in a hidden spot , will be able to find that way . If dye doesn't work , you will need to take the car to a shop so that they can use their "sniffer" .
