Old Dog, New Tricks


We're getting there, only 13 days till we leave for Chihuahua, and we still have lists of stuff to do. And, as with all newborn, there are some growing pains involved.
The car is complete, well, except for a little more wiring and a few incidentals. The front and rear windows are in, the hood's on, the front end's aligned, forget that, another thing for the list!
What's needed is the car to be driven, and driven hard! A shake-down cruse, so to speak. We're having fuel problems and that's not good. I gave it a go last weekend, but something wasn't right, maybe a piece of crud in there, or a slightly kinked gas line, or just not enough carburetor, definitely not on it's best behavior. In fact, she was buckin' like a bronco. The brakes seem to work, but are they ready for the Copper Canyon? The transmission seems alright, but where's that engine oil leak coming from??
Unfortunately these things don't repair themselves, these have to get fixed, and soon, I'm running out of fingernails!
Next Time: Stack-O-Carbs
WE ARE LOOKING FOR SPONSORS
