I am sad to say we could not complete the tour.... 
The Fury was having a major problem with the heat!
It did not boil over but it was getting big time vapor lock..... Slowing down to an idle it would die and took an hour to start again....
Sunday going from Cocoa to Valdosta we sat at a I-95 rest stop, at a gas station off of I-10, at an on ramp on I-75, at exit 16 on I-75 and when we got off at exit 32 going to the venue.......
I had GM techs look at it.... They checked the timing and it was OK.... We talked about the vapor lock problem, some of the problems were: mechanical fuel pump on the hot engine, small metal lines to the carburetor and no heat block under the carburetor ...... Nothing they could do to help.....
I could not rely on the car and the heat and breakdowns were getting to Jane..... We will be in a new car next year! I am glad I made the Starting line Party.... Seeing everyone was worth all of the problems.....
