Decided to drive the new 74 to Auburn today, didn't make it home died on interstate 80 just passed Sierra college blvd. Smart guy that I am didn't bring any tools or even a flashlight, so I'm standing here waiting for AAA to tow it home.
Hope everyone else is having a better day Jeff |

While delivering the Screaming Yellow Zonker to it's new owner last July (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) , leaving Tahachapi the engine just quit. No sputter or jerking around, it just QUIT. Turned out to be corrosion in the DME relay socket. Now when I have an electrical problem, the first thing I think is corrosion. Your tool kit looks great. I always carry a spare clutch and throttle cable, especially on an event like the WCR or route 66 run. If I don't need it someone else just might. Spare relays and voltage regulator are also good to carry. And if you have one a spare alternator might not be a bad idea as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Cheers, Elliot |

I keep my spare throttle and clutch cable coiled up in the spare tire. A hand full of nuts and bolts too. Just cause I always have leftovers when working on the car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I never know what might fall off.....nevermind I saw your bag of fasteners |
