    He still looks good! I'd take him, since GD got the other car.

    • I drove it, I cleaned the interior out, I put both wiper arms back on and got a new wiper blade for it, I also went through all my old citgo gas cards and filled it up (I have like a dollar left on one still). Tommorow I'm going to drive a good distance for the first time (45miles to school and 45 back) Instead of the typical 15 mile drive from the shop to the house.

      • Installed a 2 stage thermostat. It got dark before I could get the new radiator in.

        • Did an oil and filter change before it rolls over 100,000 miles tonight! I'm going to try to get the picture on the way to the gym.

          • Puzzled at the rear defrost that has ceased functioning, checked the fuse, the ground looks fine, haven't done anything to it, and nothing has changed, just packed up and quit. Was working great before, I figured if the switch was bad I would've noticed intermittent failing? any ideas, EVTM says check a list of components, I will, but any ideas on where to start?

                • fixed the rocker shafts after putting the wrong ones in saturday. Sunday swapped HG, head, intake, tb, etc in 3.5 hours, also swapped the same 'wrong' shafts sunday, too. not bad considering I had to disassemble 2 engines instead of just mine. doh' moments much?

                  runs like an absolute charm now.

                        Probably should move this to the repair thread, Is the little light coming
                        on? You may want to get a test light and see if power and ground actually
                        exist at the rear window and if power is on both sides of the fuse.

                        • Tuesday night I asked Jay if it would hurt anything to wire the choke open other than being hard to start when cold. He said no so I did! Now I'm back well into the 30s on MPG (from low 20s, choke is all messed up) and hopefully a little more tuning this week and I'll be doing good again Jay is the MAN!

                            • Oh shut up Danny, me and Paul don't want to hear about your 40mpgs :razz: :lol:

                              Today I was surprised at how well the wiper blades work considering that they just sat on my car for two years before I got it
