Bummer on the failure Dan - but awesome response to jump back in another ride and get back to the show.

Well maybe the block can't be fixed, but the car certainly can. :P

We ended up with 3 roadsters (Bob Middleton, Steve Painter and myself) this morning at the Cars and Coffee Williamsburg, VA. This caused quite a stir as many people hadn't seen a roadster let alone 3 in the same place.

:cry:
Nowhere. I was going to hook up my 02 sensor and saw my muffler guy installed it so close to the tranny. I cannot remove it. Arggg. Another trip to the muffler shop.

I also could not figure out why my brake lights weren't working. I re-aligned the switch at the pedal but still could not get the lights to work. It may be related to my center console was removed for clean-up, maybe something needed grounding. I am not sure, but I bypassed everything and went from the fuse box straight to one side of the brake switch and my brake lights work again. A good quick fix till I revisit the issue.

re brake lights
I seem to recall that if your 4-way flasher isn't hooked up then the brake lights don't work. And of course the indicators don't either !
