Gassed up, stocked with Red Bull and granola bars, and have plenty of extra fluids.

As you can see more gas stops. Almost to Indianapolis. Eating dinner with some friends there downtown before heading down the highway to stay in Louisville for the night.
Check Engine Light came on before Peoria IL. Didn't have anything to jump the terminals so I stopped at Autozone to buy some wire. They had a massive line and my brother saw a Toyota dealer was right down the street. Went there about 30 min before close. All the tech had left but the service manager help me test and came back with code 25. Also pointed out a vacuum line disconnected. He said it's either that vacuum line causing the issue or bad O2 sensor. Either way, that we should be able to head down the road. Light goes off when starting it back but comes on 5-10 min into highway driving.
After another gas stop I found a second line disconnected that wasn't before. Though it's the same connector (see picture above).
This 62 drives great. Averaging 12 mpg and hasn't used any oil.
Made it to Lexington with no problems (minus the persistent CEL). Drove to Indianapolis to meet my friends for dinner. Ate excellent fried chicken. Then finished up the night on a lonely stretch of Kentucky interstate.
Drove around 700 miles today. 390 more to go tomorrow.

Apologies to the Toyota office in Lexington for flexing in their yard but I couldn't resist.
Easy drive today. 40E had a little slow down but not bad. $240 in fuel for around 1100 miles averaging 11mpg.

THanks guys... sorry for delay. Was diggin out incandescent bulbs from trash and an extension cord.
Running that at the moment between block and motor mount while looking for options
Im at home..... 40 min from a 24 hr walmart that will only have green. Steve left me some evil orange out next door.
Could mix and perform full flush or may just idle it all night to be safe but im not getting heat from vents
16 oz of 70% isopropyl in the cabinet.... would worry about seals. Have you any experience with it or trusted source?

None whatsoever. I just know that stuff wont freeze until some triple digit below zero temp.

Wow .... sorry I missed the text dude. Yup, just an incandescent spotlight sitting on a fender well aimed at the block and a blanket or tarp over the top of the motor (and then hood closed) would do it. Hope you're okay up there. The good news is it only got down to 6 last night and it takes a long time for that big iron block to dump heat.
EDIT .... while I would not worry about a frozen/cracked block the radiator dumps heat in a hurry (duh) .... so watch for overheating on your first startup in case coolant there is frozen, even if it isn't cracked.

I saw that splitter .... worth a call i guess but saw the estate sale dates were 12/2,3,4. A month ago so wasnt sure if anything was still being processed or sold.
