Well the fuel pump IS leaking as I thought, so a new one is coming. Also, the tach circuit board is starting to cause problems so it's about to be replaced also. It really never stops, does it? Still love it, though! Too late to turn back now!     Wacko

Heat is now working, just a matter of relocating hoses. both were actually on return ports. While it was on lift to change fuel pump, Lew noticed that there was a small drip of oil around oil pan so it was pulled and new gasket put on (N/C to me!). also discovered that factory style rocker covers were being hit slightly by rocker arms, so there're being swapped out. Tach issue has mysteriously dissapeared and he can't get it to do it again. One less repair for now! Lew also had a chance to readjust the idle mixture. A couple other minor issues and then it will be home again! (hopefully longer than a day). After I get it back, Lew wants me to drive it a bunch then take it back before the Gathering for oil change, adjustments, and inspections (just to be sure). It's good to find someone as anal as you are!
