No sweat guys(not really cause it was hot),

I am dealing with a leaky M/C at the caps.  I have some small paint damage spots on the rail below the M/C.  Not too happy. :villagers:  I bough some replacement caps today and they seem ok so far.  The old caps(one of them) seemed like it wasn't totally round.  The replacements seem round.  Hopefully this is the fix.  Otherwise Goody says he got some at the JY from a Chrysler vehicle and that was his fix for the same problem.  I'm gonna touch up the paint but not until I know it has stopped.

Lets just say i called out sick only to endure 100 degree temps today, so instead of messing with the car, im pealing wall paper out of a closet  :eek4: Anyway, today was a day for personal sanity after being awake for 30 hrs from Thursday to Friday while working  :sleeping: So, the last time i drove the car, I had a starvation/ advancing issue at 70 mph. Im gonna go grab a 180 thermostat today, and maybe switch my jets around  when the esun starts going down. If all of my timing works out and all and i still have issues, im going to disconnect the vacuum advance so i can get this thing out and tear the streets up a while  :burnout: All this math and i think I'll try at least taking that out of the equation.  :thinkerg: It is possible that Neil (Chryco) may be in the area during his travels, I'll turn the wrenches over to him if he is.....  :working:

Yes, you may have to take off the vac advance if you are experiencing a cruising stumble.  You might have to much advance in light load situations.

It has been really hot lately.  My oldest boy has his Pre-school graduation today so that is why I'm home today.LOL

Come On Guys - quit whining about the heat - it was 100 degrees here yesterday and that did not stop me from spending 8 hours out in my shop.  Saving grace was there was a good breeze and I did have a couple of cold ones  :cheers:

It's about 100 today same tomorrow!

Dave glad you were able to sell it?  Good for you hope you got what you needed.  I wish I could have taken on another project right now.LOL :droolingbounce:  Someday I'll get another 70....


The ride was awesome, good thing I had my IPOD to keep me company.  The stereo sounds awesome, but I noticed that idling through some very slow areas with lots of people with the bass on a bit the battery voltage went from 13.9 to 13.1..  I shut off the radio and it slowly came back up to 13.9. :dunno: :crazy:  Someday I'll drive down and you can show mw what this thing can do.LOL  Actually i am planning on NED on the 20th for TnT!  See how it goes.
