Finished up some odds and ends on the car today. The finally was a nice long ride. The car performed very well. If the lifter pumps up I will have exhaust and intake manifold gaskets and if the lifter doesn't, I will have a head gasket to do also. Need to go out at night and aim the headlights. Other than that, it's off to the cruise in Friday and Saturday night. Next Sunday is our annual orphan car, car show. Hope to make it.

I also discovered while setting the timing the vacuum advance is inop.

P.S. funny thing, I just had the nagging feeling the horns needed to be installed and operable. What do you know, on the first trip out, some dunce pulls out in front of me. Horns work! LOL
