yes it was quite the miracle, and I like I said, Jared made it happen when I just couldn't take it anymore. The car actually started right up..once it had gas in the tank. Jared got a little wild with the starter fluid and BBQ'd what's left of his hair, but otherwise it was as if I had been starting it every weekend since it became incapacitated.

And I promised Doug I would tell everyone about this new adjustable pushrod he's "marketing..."

Thanks again Doug.

Oh problem #2: Leaky water pump that was growing biological things and apparently no longer able to spin:

But hey, it ran, if a little slowly and squeekily. The alignment is way off I and I fear the problem solver bushings were installed backwards...if I can do it wrong, I will, that my new sig.

I don't think I will be "marketing" adjustable brake peddle pushrods any time soon but it just goes to show what you can do with a hack saw and a welder. :shock: :roll: :wink:

It was the difference from making it 1 piece or running into the first object that I couldnt avoid because I had no brakes. Thanks again Doug!

I had a great time at the show this past weekend. It has been a long time since I have been to it. The last time was probably almost 7-8 years ago in Alviso. I bought a couple of things from John which I needed and were priced very affordably. BTW: John, I hope you feel better. Doug, I also meant to say hello but every time I looked over, it appeared you were in the midst of some great story and I didn't want to interrupt. Perhaps, next time. Thanks for a great show all.
