Well My 62 that I sold got some love tonight. (Sellers remorse) Its new owner will be traveling with us tomorrow morning to Uwharrie for the day. As many of you know the exhuast was horrible and it ran HORRIBLE....wouldn't start on cold days or when ever it felt like it.
Well Venessa, the new owner, brought it over and we at least started a fairly good tune up. She had new exhaust put on it (Darin...those guys you recommended did a shotty job...I'm going to tell her to bring it back probably) and they were able to tighten the pully on the belts that I could not get to budge.
As far ast the tune up that was fun. She was not able to get a Dist cap and rotor in town. Well we went to dive in and am surprised this thing ran at all. The main power plug from the coil could not have been touching any metal what so ever. The plastic was cracked and the entire plug was covered in some oxidization. Looked like it was filled with silicone. Amazing. So we found a store up in Sanford that had a cap and rotor and picked it up with a new headlight that was out.
Anyway...new plugs, wires, rotor, cap, air filter, oil change, light and the thing is a new car. No $it went from zero to 60 up hill in like 12 seconds. I don't think it could go from zero to 60 ever before. Power all thruout the band where before you got nothing below 2.7K RPM.
Anyway she has been on this website a lot and I'm sure she will read this but she will be there tomorrow to test out her skills on the trails. I think she will be our first Female Owner/Operator in the club.
