Well i took the 78 out today and gave it a good shakedown cruise-came home and changed the speedo cable(busted the cable at Teladaga last year -when i repaired it it had a jitter so i had to change the cable housing today-works fine now. noticed a sligt pull to the right when breaking -checked it out on the rack -found a small leak where the front left flexable line connects tp the caliper-will replace monday night - air cond is working great new belts will change oil and tune -up next Friday (LOOKS LIKE I'M DRIVEN THE 78) by the way after changung the tranny to a 5 speed and raising the rear-end gear ratio the 78 gets a consistent 23 mpg on the road.

I agree with almost everything you state Dwight except RENT A FORD. Just can't believe you said that.  Anyway haven't decided which vehicle to drive yet (have both ready) started packing on Mothers day guess the car to drive wont be chosen till 0400 hrs 16 May. I plan on stopping at BG for the night and touring the assembly plant on the 17 and leaving for the gathering on the 18 should be there in the early afternoon.
