[JohnnyC]

just noticed you are in my neck of the woods...a great fab guy is in N.Pownal Vt not too far from you...look up Poor Wally's Land Cruiser Emporium...he's a good guy and friend...he has tons of parts at good prices ...also BIGREDFJ40 here on mud is also a great resource for parts and a wrench...he's in Glenville, NY

wierd oddness

the dude from wally's stopped by my place today while i was at work and left his card. pretty crazy if you ask me, kinda like a "if you build it they will come" sort of thing. nuts.

hey CruisinMT I lived in whitefish for about a year and it was great Montana is an awesome state. I live in Ticonderoga NY now it is pretty cool but I miss Big Mountain. Where are you located in MT.

I'm in Ronan on the Rez, just south of Polson and Flathead Lake.

back to it

so i am puttering on the car today and i found that i am getting spark to the lower points of the dizzy, but not on the cap or to the plugs. i disconnected the condenser just in case it is faulty. unfortunately it won't turn over. i am pretty stumped.
