nothing like finally taking it for a drive to get the motivation moving! I actually drove the cutlass a couple months ago a few miles up the road and back, the most it's moved under it's own power in approx 10 years!

and now, it's death ......... piss me off last night it started and ran great . So what to do on a beautiful sunny Sunday morning ?....... lets get up early and go for a rip thru the town before traffic starts. great idea.
F'en thing will not start.....it will turn over strong , quick start down the carb .no start......is there spark ( it's next on the list ) But for now I have to get back to being an adult and pay attention to the family.
thank you for listening
