Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
Absolutely 0 accomplished here today. Rain and sinus pain kept me from getting anything done. A buddy in town stopped by around noon to see if I'd give him a hand setting the timing on a '69 442. I ended up tinkering over at his place for a few hours.
The timing didn't take long. I ended up swapping out the stiff advance springs on the MSD distributor for some light ones I had after I saw how slow the timing advanced. Must have been the right call because it really woke up after the change.
While we were test driving, the transmission started slipping so we eased it back to his garage. It turned out to be a simple fix. - Low fluid level. - But one thing led to another and before you knew it I was helping bleed the brakes.
I'm on a second antibiotic now. The first one gave me no relief. Still keeping my fingers crossed that this one will work. Maybe a few days away from the paint fumes, metal filings, and weld smoke will help. It seems as though I'm constantly breathing crap of some sorts in.
