 Matt. It looks like a Beauty, is it a he or she. Guess a he since your calling it "the other guy"

Hey a good looking car like that could make a nice stud car to mate with Sophia.

Guess that The offspring's would be little Dubs.  &^rofl

  Hey!  it got a lot of miles coming to it's new home...

Drove it around quite a lot...too - and not just up and down my driveway either! Ran very well


That is until I gave it a tuneup....  #banghead

  I have to post the situation later tonight -

This really has me stumped  -  pretty much unbelievable...as I thought I saw everything already...



K-  Yup that is the best anyone has come up with so far.............

J -  #@rofl3  pretty good - but Sophia is being a recluse..



Thanks everyone!

I fixed it good!  [gunfiring\

The only trouble it had was after running for a while, the rpms would be high,   - understand this could be the automatic choke ,checked it, and it was off.. so re-adjusted it.
Needed to check valves, plugs ( learned that from Bob - his were barely in the plug holes) and other....  but here it is... and I am..
