Worked the screen out of the fuel tank and unmoored the cork from the sludgy bottom,so now I have a fuel gauge...and can use the solvent sprayer to clean the tank once i drain it.Drained the cooling system to see why it overheats..timing dead on,no bubbles in the water when running but an ominous sign hit me in the face the last 'block go round'..no windshield frame and when the repop quail 1/4 turn radiator cap popped open it misted me with hot water...and grass..poked around the baffle and found more grass wedged in the top tank...hoping a good backflush will cure my issue..

I vacuumed the bugs out of the radiator ,with the help of a tooth pick.
Then got under to see if I have any oil leaks. ,no real leaks just a small drop,
found on the floor sometime. Next cleaned front window (bugs) and put on rainex. Next opened a beer lite up a cigar sat on a chair and looked at the car.

THE END Fred
