I finally got my glove box door to work properly!

When i bought the car, the lock cylinder wouldn't turn... and when I took it apart to investigate, I couldn't make it go back together. On my last run to Ace Hardware, I finally remembered to take the lock cylinder with me so I could find the right size washer to use as a shim; this let me reassemble it at last.

A working glove box is a small thing, car wise, but psychologically it was a big deal for me. :)

Tuned my engine today after fixing two vacuum leaks, the carb base gasket and the brake booster. With a Qjet, only use the Ac/Delco base gaskets. The aftermarket gaskets are too hard which causes them not to seal right.

The rims are beautiful.

Are they 14x7?
