35 mph WOT power loss
Boy, that statement really hits home. Seems as though I don't like to learn anything until I've thrown a few wrenches and called the car some choice names - all of this AFTER I've already screwed up a couple times.
Well then you are doing it exactly right. If you don’t call your car names you don’t really love it. I try to control my swearing but Dammit, that ***** pisses me off. Fights me on everything, never gives much satisfaction and costs money just sitting there.
Part of it is making it YOUR car. I bought my car from my uncle after my cousin died. I’ve been making it “my” car ever since.
The biggest issues come up when I go against my gut and not make the car mine. Things like the fact that I hate, with a passion that worthless, idiotic spool Mount K member.
Hated that system since I had to work on the first one in 1980. And since my car is a 73, that’s what it has. When I went through the engine and front end back in 2014, I went against my gut and didn’t change out the K member.
And I kicked myself every time I looked at, every time I looked at and even thought about it. This time (because I went against my gut AGAIN) I’m changing to the biscuit Mount K member. Then I can run solid mounts and have a much better system for locating the engine.
That’s why you’ve got to make these cars your car and piss on what everyone else thinks.
