      • Swapped the rear struts... again. Installed the two stage tstat! I'm trying to get better mpg by getting into the operating range. Changed the plug wires, distributor, and the coil trying to chase down my stumble. It wasn't the wires or the coil. Didn't get to see if it was the disty yet. Tomorrow is my last day to iron out anything before a 2200 mile trip. getting an alignment at 9:30 am tomorrow.

            • Picked up a new-to-me rear axle and dome light. Hope to install them Friday at lunchtime. Will still have to bleed the brakes after that. Maybe install the new timing belt next week from RockAuto (ought to order it tomorrow, huh?)

              • Filled it up. Up to 39 MPG this tank. Driving the same I have been, but I moved the distributor a bit. Seemed to have found a sweet spot on the timing. More power and better mileage.
                I found a beauty ring at a junkyard today. Only one, though I still bought it, hoping that three more randomly show up in my front yard.
