Bill;

 Did you replace or rebuild the carburettor? If not what type does your car have a Holley or a Carter? You may also want to check the wiring in the ignition system as well as the ignition coil, when they start getting old they will sometimes go open when the engine gets hot.

Best Regards

Subject: IML: Chrysler Boyhood home show

Greetings All,

Went to Ellis, KS today to the 50th anniversary show for the

Chrysler Boyhood home. I was told there were 97 cars present with 3 or 4 that didn't show . There were cars from 1926 to 2005.  My bad luck, I was one of the no-shows.  After spending quite a number of hours getting ready I went to the car wash to get the dust off and had to tow it home. No, I didn't wash the engine. I let it run while I washed.  It died at the first stop sign.  Towed it home and it started right up, seems to be heat related.  Did the same thing when I brought it home last June, but I put it down to all the crud in the gas tank.  The fuel system has been cleaned and the tank sealed, new filter at engine and new sock on tank pickup. Havn't had time to start on the ignition yet.  Spent too much time repairing mouse chewed wires, turn signals and cornering lights and 1 tail light. Anyway, I rode down with a friend.

Back to the show-- They have received a number of donated cars and land has been donated across from the home and they broke ground today for a new display building, 250 x 72 feet, from the drawing quite a fine looking project.

Hope they get their funding soon.
