Hey, at least it didn't blow up when you got it out of storage. Hi, Zach!

Holy shimoly - never seen this thread and just read the entire thing.
What a story and NICE fargin' car!

Developed a minor leak -- barely noticeable.
I acquired an NOS heater valve that's probably older than I am and got it installed. Even rinsed the dust off the engine before driving it around town to run some errands.
By the looks of the old one it'd been seeping for a while, then just completely let go. IIRC it was a Four Seasons and hadn't been in there all that long but I'm guessing they all come out of China now. Previous one only lasted a couple years too.

At least it let go when you weren’t on the road
No kidding. I noticed it at my dad's shop when I drove it over there a couple weeks ago. Only had to go about 4 miles to get home.
50 mile taco run and lunch at the river.
odd, as a guy who's taste for the 78-80 cutties is near the bottom of the list, I never get tired of looking at this one....
