Finally filled up tonight, I got 21.1 mpg from the hotel to home.
I'm very happy with that.
When's the next run???
Karl, did you ever get her running?

Ratti Tat Tat, You got much better mileage than my teeny engine, except, of course, lately, it hasn't been using much gas at all. I've just got too many carburetors to get good mileage.
Not running yet. Kinda lost incentive after not getting to drive the Trail. Have been working on it but have had trials and tribulations. The last being broken water pump bolt, but at least I did get lucky and it left a stub sticking through the front cover that I was able to vise grip out. Ever try to find a 5/16 x 18, 6" socket head bolt? Even Copper State didn't have one. Ordered a couple from McMaster Carr, and then yesterday, Mesa Mike brought two of them over. Go figure. Still have to mount the water pump, alternator, distributor, plugs and valve covers. With the way my luck has been going, I certainly don't expect it to fire right off. I do have the timing gear marks aligned and the advance marked but since the engine has the wrong front cover/water pump combination, there's no way to see a timing mark. FoMoCo JOYS!

Now would be a great time to install a new timing pointer since you should know where exact TDC is now. Tavia and several other companies make them.

Benny, That was Dan Ratti. His speedometer broke on the way home Sunday but he has already fixed it.
Thanks anyway for your generous offer.
My trip odometer is broken, does yours have one?

Hey Benny, that was me.
We also talked about you setting up a run for us AZ folk in your neck of the woods.
I would like to see if there is any interest other then myself for doing this.

How about you create a posting with a date that works for you and a trip plan.
Hopefully a few of us will bite, I know I will.

Nut-ski, I'm working of fashioning a pointer that I think I'll be able to see, under the Alternator. I already have an advance knob timing light, so I should be able to just have a line on the balancer lined up with the pointer to be able to determine my total advance, without having to be concerned with degree marks on the balancer. I'd like things better if I could actually a mark rather than just timing by ear. I have no way of measuring vacuum with no plenum chamber under my Webers.

Tell us more about the run.
Is it just a day run or a over-niter?
From where to where.

Anyone else interested in doing this?
We could make this a trailer trip or a driving trip.

What's the route look like? Is it all freeway driving or are you going to run through the mountains?

Well Danr, knowing Bennie's joy of "twisty curvies" and even his mention of their "twisty curvy" runs, back a few entries, I sorta doubt it would be a freeway run.
Too Easy.

Benny,
Thanks for the caps you sent. They look great, no more wipers ! I'm interested in the run over in your neck of the woods, just not sure of the timing yet. No truck to pull my trailer either, so I'd have to drive over and back.

Bob,
I can fix yours, it's a $54.00 part though.(Cobra Valley)
No labor charge of course.
You can pull the speedo and give it to me
or
Drop your whole car off at my house and I will do everything for you.
Just make sure all 3 fuel tanks are full.
