Next Phase of my Mopar Life
I was actually able to take the car to it's first car show/cruise in of the season (at least for me!). I'm still on what I consider shake down runs. Listening to every pop, groan, rattle etc. I'm supposed to take it easy for the first 500 miles while breaking in the clutch discs and also the rear gears, so that's what I'm doing. The new shifter works slick as can be and shifts are firm and positive. Mileage was 132,200 when the changes were made. Gonna see how many miles I can rack up before putting it away for the winter.
I noticed a small puddle of oil under it last night. I think I may have damaged the T adapter that allows me to run an idiot light and also a mechanical gauge. I'll pull it apart and see if I can see any damage. I may just remove the adapter and run an oil gauge only. The motor is rebuilt and solid. I shouldn't need to constantly monitor oil pressure with an 'idiot' light.
Here's a pic from last night. The weather was absolutely gorgeous for a show and I even won a pizza from my favorite pizza joint who hosts the monthly event.
