Default Re: Nevadaho Road Trip

Yes Henry, thanks for doing a post on your trip. Very nice pictures. I remembered seeing that tree looking art form on my way from Salt Lake City to Bonneville last August. I also really enjoy driving my old Fords. The Barner's tours that have been put together over the last several years have been awesome in my opinion. It sounds like your distributor must have performed well. I saw no mention of any issues with that. Keep on keeping on!

From my thread about that distributor problem:

And the inner distributor cap for C & G in two days as well. (They're always two days to me for anything.)
Spent at least two hours getting all of the spark plug wires plugged back into the new inner cap, putting it together, testing all cap posts for continuity to the end of each wire, taking it apart to get some to connect that weren't, over and over and over again until all worked. Then put the new distributor and cap and wires back in and started it up. Ran great including accelerating.

I'm good for my 1,000 mile road trip through Nevada and Idaho next week.

Thanks to all for all yer help. And especially to Bubba for his speedy delivery. That was the make or break part of the deal for the trip next week.
