Thanks Greg, its been a "Fugly" week at work and with a volunteer board I'm on ... what is it with people .... why does drama need creep into the workplace? If people want drama, watch some TV.
No....Wait.
Real life is where the ideas for fictional drama come from. Dang. We must have some good writers working for us.
On to the really important stuff ... the car
Most of my driving since posting has been shorter runs, so I'll do the easy fix first by tightening the gas line clamps, then grab new spark plugs and try out your suggestion.
Lash is a possibility as well. The head was off last summer, and my mechanic was looking for correct measurements. I'll see if he can remember what he set them at and if I have notes. I assume 6 intake & 8 exhaust are for cold engine.
This week I was still getting one other symptom after going rich 1/4 turn...slight run-on after shut down.
Ross...yup, I'm running Chevron 94. The little worm may have gotten in the lines when the car was at the PO, at the Wet Coast.
Yesterday a semi-retired friend and I (but mostly him) spent a little less then 3 hours re-building the sun visors and shift boot cover. The sun visors will still need a missing piece or two to attach them to the windshield, but I can do that part. I chose to stick with black vinyl with a slight grain to match the seats and parcel shelf. I'll need to re-cover those as well, but one thing at a time.
Re-gluing down the vinyl in the foot wells will need to wait until we order the correct spray-on adhesive which won't de-glue in the heat.
Here are some updated pictures of the altered tonneau cover. Not concourse-ready, but it will keep the sun, dust, pollen, & bird droppings off the interior. I'll see what I can do to stretch it to fit the driver side twisties once the heat really hits
OK ... how do you make sure the picture stays rotated when you upload?
No....Wait.
