The current countdown is 15 days until my father and I drive 1500 mile to Colorado and back for my sisters wedding. I will start by saying I am better off than he is. His 47 fleetmaster needed some paint issues fixed so it went off to body shop jail. Well it's ready for paint now but it is getting very close to d day.
I on the other hand have my 84 mustang that we swapped to efi. It has taken longer than we thought but with me living 100 miles away and with a little one its tough. As of right now the car runs great. Bearings packed, brakes bled, dash is together, and it does one hell of a smoke show.
I got my trailer hitch 98% done and some other little things done that I need to. So I decided to take it back home and put some miles on it. Well everything was all fine and dandy until about 50 miles out my CD player was messing up. So instead of wrecking the car, I pulled over to try and fix it. As I pulled over, I pushed in the clutch and it idled for about 30 sec then died. Insert loud curse words here. Won't start won't click nothing. Pulled CD player nothing. So I got a jump and headed back to dads. Pulled into shop and tried to duplicate it( headlights on fan on high) and everything looks normal. 14.2 at idle 13.5 with fan on 12.3 lights on. Can't figure it out. I got to take off for home due to a ice storm rolling in. (Gotta love Iowa!). So hopefully it's just in the CD player because I'm outta time, money, and vacation time.
Chalk this one up to joys of hot rodding. Rant over.
