[Highway Star]

Thanks Mike. Someone else was telling me some of the same things today, and offered some good advice for diagnosing my electrical stuff too. The hard starting, (yeah, that too) I'm not sure if it is timing, wiring, starter, battery, or some or all of the above. Since it seems like the alternator charged it back up, it likely did the last time I drove it too. I'll bet it got drained somehow, and it will do it again.

I was just telling my wife that with all the other crap I have going on right now...(my ongoing back problems, lack of work, etc, etc) that I don't have the patience to find pleasure in working on it right now.

Speaking of leaks, I remembered a minute ago that when I was underneath looking at wheel weights, I saw transmission fluid on the outside of one of the trans cooler lines. Great another leak to go along with my leaky oil pressure gauge feed line..

It needs to be cooler out to work on my car, I was out there for 10 minutes, and I got drenched with sweat. She might be sitting for a few months for the weather to cool off before I mess with her anymore, unless I get a wild hair in my butt.,,or a huge AC unit in my garage.


I took the engine apart and it works, so I did good there, but apparently the wiring, distributor, and carb are a little more temperamental in nature.

Eventually I'll get anxious to drive it again...
