Default had a good time and a bad time with the chevelle :)

Well finally took her out today. it was a bit scary driving it because i didn't know what to expect out of it. but i had fun driving it. made it to the show in one piece



started on the dime every time. But on the way home it stalled out on me at the gas station. and i was like what happened. Checking everything and it wouldnt turn back on. it was acting like it wasnt getting any gas. Took the air cleaner off and found my choke was on full close. Opened it back up and it started right up no problems. got to my block and it did it again. opened it back up and it started right up. I guess i have to figure out a way to keep my choke open since i am not going to drive it during the cold months of winter. But over all had a great time with the chevelle today cant wait to get it aligned correctly and drive it some more

Looks like you had a good time, and even with the problem it had to be nice to know that you found out what was wrong.

I would have loved to have driven my car yesterday, especially since it was the Michigan Chevelle Club picnic. It was fun, but it would have been better if I could have driven my car.

Uhaa, always a GREAT time to drive the car for first time, at least after a long time.
Be happy and enjoy the Chevelle my friend!
