Re: Driving California Highway 1
Nice video. My wife and I drove that road a few years ago in a Mazda Miata. It seems the scenery went by a bit faster on that trip. Next year you'll be in my neck of the woods then. Thanks for sharing.

There was obvious signs of the rotor rubbing on the terminals. I consulted with Jim at Bubba's and filed the end of the rotor down just slightly to smooth it off and keep it from rubbing. I also adjusted the vacuum brake to retard the advance earlier. Those things seem to have all but eliminated the problem. It's still there just slightly on a long hill climb but hardly noticeable and certainly not enough to fuss about any more. One thing neither Jim or I could figure out is the red powder in the distributor cap. I thought it might be from the posts but he didn't think so. I cleaned it all out before re-installing just in case it was metallic and could provide a path for spark to stray.

Re: Driving California Highway 1
Awesome trip Henry! I've done part of that trip from San Luis Obispo North to S.F. We drove back to Pacifica each night to a hotel. My wife insisted. She felt safe there.

Re: Driving California Highway 1
Old Henry, You have once again provided some great pictures of your drive up Highway 1 in California. Just as well you didn't plan this trip in June, as that is when the fogs come in. The locals call it the "June Gloom". The attached pictures were taken in June 2013. The fog really spoils this great scenery at this time of year.

Didn't go through Solvang. Stuck right on Highway 1 the whole way.

Re: Driving California Highway 1
With Pepe along, we pretty much stick to Motel 6. They actually cater to pet travelers - reserve the ground floor for them, and always welcome them with no extra charge. Plus, they're usually as cheap or cheaper than any where else in town.

Re: Driving California Highway 1
I only saw three other vintage cars on the trip - one 1959 Austin/Healy bug-eyed Sprite totally cherried out, with two Chihuahuas on board, going my way that I visited with at one stop for a while. And a couple of 50's customized coming the other way.

Re: Driving California Highway 1
In southern California we have May gray, as well as June gloom. In the early 1960's you could see San Diego from 26th street in San Pedro, and Catalina Island year round.

Re: Driving California Highway 1
Professor!!! So very glad your trip Way out West was an overall pleasurable adventure. Especially the steep hills and congested streets of San Francisco. Blessings to you for your courageous efforts and thank you so much for posting!
