Good news and bad news. The good is that my homemade air cleaner assembly does the job. Car starts right up on one crank and maintains a good idle with temps staying right on the 3/4 mark on guage. Also cools down faster than before. I used it for 2 days of errands this week with no troubles and it even attracted it's first crowd (more than one person) Although they mostly wanted to know what year Buick it was...
Another good was that I've gotten the basic history of this car. There were 2 brothers in Old Forge who ran a trucking company. They also hated or feuded with each other. One of them used to deliver products from Proctor & Gamble to Canada. On one of his trips in the late 70's he bought this car and trailered it home. He restored it somewhat and antique plated it in the early 80's. Later on, he killed himself for some reason and the car sat since then. At least he didn't do it in the car.
The bad is that my longtime friend and pet parrot Beaky died Tuesday. He was 27
