BTW... friend wants to go camping next weekend so i picked a place 5 hours away.. which happens to be 30 mins from a guy with a '65 one year only trans i need to have a slip yoke and get rid of the flange:) so.. make it worth the trip
Thats some wise thinkin' ahead right there. Wishin' I had came up with a reason to drive down to Darlington today. Anyway...
GOOOOOD mornin' C\_/ . Found part of the fuel delivery issue in the red car. Small fuel line below filter had deteriorated due to a small and short-term leak that developed back when I moved the filter down below the alternator.
We were semi partying under the same shed beside the car. Needless to say I spilled enough stale fuel to be a little unpleasant. Electric fan blowing out and away helped. In the end the battery was too dead to turn her over more than a round or 3.
Junior came in around 10:pM and offered me one of those modern jump boxes. I declined. "I'm just too old school son. I can walk right by that thing in search of my jumper cables. So... wifey is in route to Wally world right now for a new set of elcheapo cables, and she'll get 3 gal. of real gas on her way home.
On second thought, I should accept that jump box to place it in her car.
Worth repeating... please stay safe out there. I think it's going to be 5:eek:'clock and Margaritaville all around through late Monday.
