Car was taking a few extra twists of the key to start, and was starting to lose just a little bit of get up and go when I hit the accelerator (not that a 195.6 with a 1 barrel carb has a lot of get up and go to lose!). Pulled the sparkies and cleaned them. Re-torqued the head (it's been a year to a year and a half). Checked the timing, messed with the idle with timing light/tachometer. Planning on checking the valves today. It was just fun messing with the car. I think I have too many hobbies going on, and it might be time to concentrate on the Rambler again. It was fun noticing a slight problem, and knowing how to fix it from previous e-mail discussions, then going out and doing so. Celebrated with a bottle of home-made hard cider. Well, I guess that's not a bad hobby, either. _______________________________________________ AMC-list mailing list AMC-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://list.amc-list.com/listinfo.cgi/amc-list-amc-list.com
