Just made a short run, barely moving temp. gauge. Checking fluids before leaving, as suspected, she made another burp, sucked res. empty. Well, warning light didn't come on. Puttin the checks off till weather is more favorable. Maybe tomorrow if the wind lays down. Yes, I did keep the 43's in it, as they are pretty new. Thinking they should be ok, as long as everything else checks out or replaced as needed. I'll keep a good eye on em' this time. Timing light is a must, hoping to borrow one. Fella at muffler shop wanted 35 bucks to get his out.....geeese. I have an older Snap-On, I'll have my son send it down, if need to be.

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

I put new plugs in shortly after getting in Tx......Maybe 100 mi. on them, at best.
