Sorry about that Linda! Yes you are right. Lovin' this car even with the ocassional hickups with me getting to know it.

I put some new plugs in and also saw that one of the choke cables was hung up on the holder which made it stay choked. I am not sure when that happened. Probably when I was looking under the hood sometime very recently. Probably after the last drive and checking the oil level afterwards.

But with the new plugs it started right up and seems to be running fine again. we took it out for a quick 10 mile run up and down the mountain and it ran great. I will put some more miles on it tomorrow and check it out more and keep track of the condition of the spark plugs. Nice to have it running again.

My choke cables are disconnected because I got tired of them hanging up.
Glad you got it fixed!

Stacey,

Congrats on the car. I'm just down the hill from you. We'll connect on an upcoming run, I'm sure.

very nice job! I see you have a lot of blood, sweat and possibly tears invested. Not to mention the time and money. Sure you will enjoy every moment you spend behind the wheel.

Alvvin,

Thanks for posting the on the road picture. I dont have any of those yet.

Also thanks to the rest of you for the complements.

I am glad the original poster Kevin was willing to part with it after restoring it and sold it to me.
