Thanks for asking.
I'd really like to be at Firebird Sunday, but I've got some thrash to do Sunday.
Took the Elco out for some more miles yesterday, and problems just kept cropping up. Besides the oil leak that looks worse than it is according to the dipstick, the engine develped a surge when in overdrive. Sounds good when in conventional, but in overdrive it isn't very happy a lower RPM, low load, so I'm pulling the carb and going through it.
The speedo quit on me at nearly the same time. I had pulled the cable and oiled it while working on this thing, and saw no problems, and it worked for about 200 miles.
On the way Home after the speedo started making noise and bouncing all over, the charging system failed. Second time in days. First, the idiot light came on with the key off. Changed voltage reg and the light wouldn't come on at all. Traded alternators and everything was fine and then "hello".
I must have peeced off the Gods ...........
I'd like to meet you and your friends, and I'd like to be part of an Idaho Chapter as well if you get to that point.
Thanks for the invite. Mike Mantle 208-722-4097
