I’m in.  Lets get some more of “us” to go.  See you there.  

That is a great story. It’s great the current generation of ownership cared.

I wouldn’t use washer fluid. Plenty of dedicated chemicals for top end cleaning.

Sorry, won’t make that one. Already made work schedule changes for

Only have one that’s any good. One reason for the replacement.

Was thinking of Rt. 13 through Maryland and over the bridge/tunnel.

NICE!  Carbon! That happens. Wonder if you got a little in your combustion chambers too? It might do to get a half pint of windshield washer fluid in a cup and a very thin hose attached to the bottom of your carb (the disty advance hose works good). Rev her a little and let the motor sip that watery stuff, little by little, for a few minutes.…[Read more]

Bill

Glad it worked out without an engine teardown for you.

Linda and I will spend Saturday night at the Quality Inn and Suites on Gall Blvd in Zephyrhills. If you mention the FL Bug Jam a queen room is 79.00

Bill, (and Paul), map shows 5 1/2 hours from my house on I-95. That’s a long run in Bridget & I know there’s no way I could get Karen to agree to it. I, however, am intrigued by the idea–especially in November, when we could be dealing with weather.I might consider it if I’m in a convoy.What would be your proposed routes?

Winter’ll be here in plenty of time, Bill. Interesting French job with those lights. That’s gotta stream-line the car quite a bit.:-)

Way to go, Paul. Glad you got out on this beauty of a day!

Looks very Jeep-like. To what would you be attaching the tubes? And why not just run a triangular cage with a peak behind your head? That could go inside and be detachable: Two posts behind the driver’s seat welded to the frame and a crossmember, then two more aft of those, at the widest points and as far back (inside) the back-of-the seat area…[Read more]

Added sixty miles today. Running great. Followed by an ice cold Gin & Tonic, which is also running great!My confidence in the car is building too! With all the troubles, I keep waiting for something else to happen. But it’s looking good!Thanks for all the support and help!Somewhere along the line, one of you asked about the new engine. Here’s a…[Read more]

Hi Allen my wife Donna and I will be going.  Several from our local VW club will also be going.

Everything I’m able to do on the Plymouth, I have done. Sadly it’s time to bring her to an expert and fix her with the MC wrench (aka Master Card).I’m thinking about the VA Beach event. It’s a vacation time thing. Not sure I have the days.

Paul, I’ve heard of that with Mopars.  If that is what it is, there is no amount of tuning with carbs, or timing that will make her run good.  Why not take a nice ride in your TD to Va Beach?  Bring Schu and Ed.  Where the heck is Wobby or does he only check in just before Carlisle?  

Everything is fine with the Duchess Bill. Thanks for asking.Can’t say the same for the 65 Plymouth. I’ve received the same suspicion from a good friend who is a retired mechanic and a local guy who has a bunch of old Mopars and a highly recommended auto service business…stretched timing chain or the timing chain has jumped a tooth. Either would…[Read more]

If any of you TD’ers coming up from the deep(er) south want to make a pit stop at my home in New Bern, it’s on the way to Virginia Beach and we could put a couple of couples up for a night or two. Julie and I will probably leave early Sat morning for the 3-1/2 hour ride up.  It’s a relatively nice country ride from here (albeit flat) to the a…[Read more]
