    I know I've posted here before that the car was running and driving before. But that was when I couldn't trust it any further than the end of the driveway. Well today I tweeked the carb and took care of a vacuum leak, hopped in fired it up, set the idle, threw it in gear expecting the worse. I opened my eyes and it was still running better than ever.

    I decided to grow a pair and take it up the road to get gas then I had a Forrest Gump moment and kept going.

    Mind you, I'm not looking for a pat on the back just excited as hell to finally have a dependable Sled.:D:D:D:D

    Yep, they're still crossed just alittle looser.

    I do need to get AAA.

    Would you want to cruise out to Moonlight together?

    more like "All systems iffy, That may be 360, Where angles 12?, and why is that blue smoke out there?"
