I just bought this car, runs and drives fine, brakes good, tranny fine, but squeeks on the powersteering pump. It has been sitting for most of its life. Got a new fuelpump, new tires. Im driving it from FL to TX and want to cover my bases.

Would change the usual oil, filters, plugs, cables, powersteering fluid.

Is there anything else I should do?
Is there anywhere a cheap maintenance manual or usermanual on the internet?

Best regards

Jon

change the belt and tensioner as due to age especially it should be and that may be your squeak as well. if you have -belts change all of them.
