Hello, I bought another 1994 80 this week. I was lucky by finding a California 80 in Kentucky (doesn't appear that it has ever seen road salt). I bought it to replace my current rusting 80 as a DD. The 80 has been sitting since November. The seller moved to Texas and didn't take it with him...

I replaced my heater T fittings the other day, however as I was replacing the first one, a small piece of the end on one of the T's broke, and I'm not sure if it went down another pipe.

Stuck in a Walmart parking lot in Tracy California. Rig won't start. It started and ran great, drove from San Fran to Tracy. Stopped for gas and when I got back in, it labored just a bit like the battery was being drained. I came to Walmart and came back out and it won't start. Tried jumping it...
