The furthest I've drove the car.....

....this will make you laugh at my dumb ***. Last September we finally closed on our new place. So I'm driving the ol' Valiant over from the east side of Carthage to the west side of Joplin......as I was leaving the house and I noticed that it was getting harder going in to third gear. As I went threw Carthage I noticed that first gear wasn't going in either.

With all the freaking trailers loaded I didn't have a way to haul it fast and I wasn't going to leave it sit on the side of the road and I had second and fourth though.

With 4:10 that was pretty easy.........any ways I get over to the new place and I noticed that I can't even put the thing in reverse. I'm thinking what the a;sldkfja;ldkfj is going on?

Well....................when I had my shift box redone by Hurst way back when I had them put in some shift stops.......the rear one(which is for all the forward throws) was all the way in the and the front on was almost all the way out. I guess I had forget to tighten the jam nut up.

Anyways what a dumb ***!

It felt good to drive the old thing. Now I'm fighting the center carb it's draining fuel after a few days and fouling my plugs. I've got to get that figured out.
