Yep Yep.
Gee Glenn... Thought you weren't interested in changing those seals! lol
Easy to paint the dash while the windshield is out. (Tractor Supply low gloss black would work great)

I don't know how fast my car will go.
It's more important that I know how fast my car will stop.

Jay volunteered to get the Syncro all tuned up & ready for re-inspection.
So I cleaned her up and took off for Bugaru's. About a block and a half into my trip, the gas pedal hit the floor. Closer inspection revealed that the throttle rod under the pedal had sheared off!
After a few moments of mild panic, I grabbed a stick off the ground & jambed it in the linkage on the throttle body. That got me about 1200 RPMs. The beauty of the Syncro is the LOW gear... Yup, it's a 5 speed with a 6.5:1 low 1st.... I just put it in low and crawled back to the house at 4 MPH.!
