Quick, get the defibrillator, we're about to lose the patient!!!!
CLEAR!!! (KA-STUMP)
OK doctor I have a pulse.
OK TJ, just hang in there budy, your gonna make it man.
Reality time, remember TJ your not trying to build a concurs winner
here. Get it to a point were it won't leave you stranded on the road,
and will pass whatever state inspection it has to. If it pings a little
on idle, so what! Does it start when you turn the key? Does it go when
you step on the gas? Does it stop when you step on the brake? Does it
smile when you stick the emissions tester up its tailpipe? Those should
be the four main goals of the car.
Try not to spend to much money. There is nothing more disheartening
than spending a few hundred dollars and a weekend or two on the car and
not solving the problem that keeps you off the road.
Later,
JHD IV
(T minus two months from engine rebuild and counting.)
