Re: Brutus on a roll

[MO <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Long update. Took Brutus to a local garage with expensive ace mechanic to get alignment. Couldn't do because his equipment not compatable with my car set-up . I asked if miss was ignition or carb. He found that #6 was not fireing and total timeing was only 20 degree ( my bad) --fixed those and then the carb could be tuned.  WOW  ! Ole Brutus has some scat now !  Got the loose alternator wire fixed and a few other minor wiring issues taken care of. Long story, but I found that I was overfilling  the oil and that caused oil burning and oil leaks.  I  now run with oil level showing one qt . low on the stock dipstick  and those problems have gone away   I am very pleased with how Brutus turned out  with driving and performance.

I picked up Brutus today and took him for the first "on highway "experience.  I hired a friend to do my wireing as it is a little much for my vision to get it done in short time. Couple of issues-- not charging battery, and a glitch in the ignition system. I could solve the problems, but I hired him to do that !  lol  back to the shop tomorrow..............................MO

After  telling the upholstery shop, I was coming to get my car in two weeks, done or not, I did just that  last Tuesday.  They have had my Dodge inside their shop since the first week in January.  All that was done is: Door panels and rear inside panels  were made and covered, but not installed, package tray made and covered,  headliner and  seat materials ordered. rear 1/4 windows lubed and adjusted,  and new windshield & gasket installed by another vendor.  At least Brutus was inside a heated building during that time. This guy is good at doing Upholstery and great at making excuses.  And now he wants me to make appointments to get the rest done. He isn't concerned that  it cost me time and money to make a 140 mile round trip ( several of them)  Anyway,  Wednesday and Thursday have been very productive  in getting the car roadworthy and goodies being installed. Friday should be another good day--I will list accomplishments later. Gotta be ready for a show- cruise in  - June 4th !  ...........................MO
