Earl's A/C is re-charged, the oil leak seems minor, but still of unknown origin........I think after an oil change and a wax he's ready.

New fuel pump, plugs, cap, rotor, compression test, leak down test, thermostat, injectors tested, fuel filters, map sensor, and lots of time going over the tune. Well! All of a sudden it decides it’s happy and starts running like it should. Guess it just need/wanted a little time and money throwed at it.

I guess we go to South Carolina to get away from the mud slides that have claimed 3 lives in the past week with in 7 miles from our house and it is still raining and will be for 2 more days.
Now I can go back to looking at the count down thread.

I'm a oil change away from being ready. The new champion radiator works very well.

I have an inverter somewhere. Haven't seen it in a long time. I know where the case is. I am eyeballing a blower motor resister on ebay. May or may not get mine to work. I tested it when I changed out the heater core and the fan worked.

I have a older converter box I take to car shows and run a fan sitting in my chair. It will last about 4-5 hrs on slow speed. It will charge cell phones also.
