Chuck, take the risk of driving it back. I flew 1200 miles to get my 76 and
drove it home all night. I know now that the rotor buttons are suseptible to
burning through and grounding the coil. Take one with you. This didn't
happen on the way home but 6 blocks from my home and the result is immediate
with no warning. But as for the trip, 20+ mpg averaging over 80 mph.
