Journal Entry

Now that she was in good running order, I wanted all the gauges to work and something was wrong with the fuel gauge. I pulled the sending unit and checked the float, “No bubbles” so I checked the wiring, it was good. It must be the sending unit, it checked out. That was when I noticed the float was heavy, it was full of gas. So after spending several hours checking things, I found my first idea about the problem was right, but was fooled into thinking it was something else. Anyway a new float fixed the problem.

Now was the time to start making it better. I ordered a new interior “Biscuit”. And started to remove the old interior, I was very surprised to find NO rust on the floor. And I cleaned everything up and painted it with rust preventative paint. The interior went in with "almost" NO problems, with only minor injuries (always have puddles of oil, gas & blood on the garage floor) and looks fantastic. My wife insisted on a new “radio” and I installed a AM/FM CD player with 400 watts. Now I can inflict my taste in music (classic rock) on others at traffic lights, but I still prefer just hearing the exhaust notes.
