Randy -
Just glad to see that car found its way to a good home. Hmm, 5 hours - and with a GPS - for what should have taken about an hour and a half from the PA border sure is strange. There musta been a lotta strip clubs along the way. Hope they charged by the mile and not the hour.
Well, I'm sure you'll have lots of fun now with your fix for the suspension to get that lowrider look.
Seriously, don't throw those old limit switches away. I was told of a good way to fix the broken wires (but darned if I can remember it).
Meanwhile, I've had no problem with plated steel plugs/cups that I've installed. However, some of the core plugs are a real PIA to change, especially the shallow ones used along each cylinder bank - best done when engine is out of car. Is your leaker at the front of the right bank?
Gotta run, but hope to see the car real soon.
