We sure do miss seeing everyone ,especially now that Chevelabration is no more .But hopefully we can spend some time together catching up at Ohio . Cant wait . I drove the vert to work this morning so that I can check the tires and oil during lunch ,then when Joan gets off work at 5:00 we will head out .

We made it to North Carolina tonight and finally got checked in to our hotel ,didnt have reservations for tonight and that caused a bit of a hassle with the front desk clerk. She be dummer than a box of rocks and Im not kidding .She was talking to a customer on the phone while we were waiting and they asked her her name and I kid you not she had to read her name tag to spell her name for them .

That's why she's the "Night" clerk.

Lightened up the Chevelle today by removing some excess rubber from the rear tires. Also replaced the spark plug wires. Idled great but I could feel one cylinder missing at higher RPMs. Finally figured out it was a wire breaking down. Installed a set of Taylor universal fit wires. What a pain sliding the boot over the wire, crimping the connector on then sliding the boot back down. Those silicone jackets on the wires are sticky. Miss is gone now, tested it by rotating the rear tires at a high rate of speed, much higher than the front tires were rotating.

Love the Taylor wires.
A little shot of WD40 helps with that boot assembly.

Tried that, didn't work that good. Used silicone spay, that worked a lot better.

We cruised top down in the mountains here in North Carolina with temps in the low 70's after a few light rain showers ,perfect temps . I was way out in the boonies and thought I heard banjo music.
