John S's Journal

The GT has been sitting idle all Winter and I finally got around to doing something about that. After the vacuum advance can (broken spring) debacle last Fall, It only went out once to test it once I got the repaired distributor back from Jeff Schlemmer.

Today's efforts were valve lash adjustments, cleaning and gapping the plugs, adjusting the timing, and a short shakedown cruise to make sure all was good. It ran great but rain was on imminent and the wipers need some TLC so I kept it short. I still need to change the oil and filter and have another look at the valve lash as the tappet noise seemed a bit excessive. Still a list of to-do's that I want to get done but aren't going to keep the car off the road.
