Adventures with old cars.
Put in a new transmission.
Fixed the clamshell on the u joint.
Took care of various ignition issues.
Went for a ride, about 50 miles both ways.
Really hot day at least 90 degrees.
No issues on the way out.
Car ran decent no overheating issues.
A bit warmer on the way back,95 degrees.
Filled tank with premium. No hot start issues.
After about 30 miles car still ran well, but had a slight Back Fire a few times but still ran well.
Considering how hot it was both outside and inside the car.

The only issue so far is that I am almost as old as the car. 1940 Ford Tudor Deluxe.

Happy Motoring
