While waiting for parts I studied the Champagnes engine & read the Bentley

The cable that operates the flaps is shot. Wonder if I'll be able to get one.  :confused04:;

Finished the stereo install in the Syncro

They have these little oil change reminder stickers you put on the inside of your windshield. I heard that they work for mechanic types just as well as everyone else! :confused04:;

Got tired of not knowing how much gas was in the bus after 3/4 tank it would go dead till just before it was empty. Lucky for me theres a hole to get access.



The hole is just big enough to get the sender out and I mean JUST!




The hole is smaller than my fist. I lost the rubber seal in the tank so I had to use the old one.




Yea! IT Works.



Cheers
