Thanks Craig, I'm right there along side taking notes myself.
Hey Rick....

you be the man, dude! Where's yours, still out at Marc's?
Thanks for the offer, the cab ride was my pleasure! I don't think I'm going anywhere to soon. It's been sittin for 4 weeks. I went to see if the battery would start it yesterday.......drum roll please....
Good news = battery is good & car started up fine, a little long on the cranking perhaps........makes me go hummmmm?
Bad news = clank, clank, clank goes the Fly wheel.

I was late for a political union meeting so I eyed up the vacuum lines & yanked on the wires & sniffed the exhaust....

...as it was still in the A.I.R. cycle. Ran fine when I put it away. Gonna bring some Techroline with me when I go back tonight. Good thing the weather forecast is good for al fresco auto diagnostics this weekend!
Ya know sometimes I miss those old cast iron sbc's, aluminium can be a right PIA sometimes....like when you have to move the car 5 miles just to do diagnostics! Just shoot me, please, now, uh why is it always august with my toy?
Later guys

Tom
