Was it the stainless shroud we have to move around to get to the bolts ? In the bone yard I scratched a van taking them off & knew I would scratch mine putting them on soooooo...
I learned to put tape & paper on the side of the van...
Good reason to get out in the junk yards and practice on there junkers....

Working on fixing a stumble/miss the astro has developed in the last few days. Found a bad plug wire, three bad vacume lines ( so far ) and a bad / burned cap & rotor. Replaced all that, stumble much less, but still there. Once it drops below 90 tonight, will work on it more.

Was at the Pocono 400 yesterday and was saddened to hear that a fan died. I was safe and sound in the infield...fun race. First NASCAR event I've ever been to and just happened to drive by and see that it was on....this not working thing is great for those types of chance encounters.
Today though my alternator sounded just awful and right when i pulled up to the National auto parts store...it seized. So thankfully they had one in stock, spent the 30min swapping it and was on my way.
Exhaust tip broke off awhile back (like in charleston). when I was runing through Shenandoah my monoxide meter beeped off at 490ppm...it was time it was time to fix it. On saturday I had a great guy from trophy tire in strousburg put on a new exhaust from the y pipe back. I went with the biggest dang magnaflow muffler they had in stock...it's huge!! and ran 2.5" pipe off the 2 1/4 stock. I wanted 3" but a. they didn't have stock and b. the price really turned me off. Getting out of there for 242$ was good enough for me.
Oh yeah and my fuel pump decided to leak on saturday but some great guys at Jimmy's auto in Blakeslee popped one on in 10 minutes. I wish I had of been in a position to do it myself to save the money as they appear to be pretty simple.
Bushkill falls here I come!
