Dave my buddy came thru big time today. He replaced about 6 cracked
and leaky vacuum hoses. Vicki and i went over there this afternoon. I
keep on getting lost when i go there. It's on a long road with relatively few
landmarks. Lucky for me there's a business next door that has a side of
the road display. I noted a couple of landmarks this time to make it easier
to spot the place next time.
Dave suggested a full tuneup. That sounds like a good plan to me. It has
been running a little rough. Vicki priced that on the phone this evening, it'll
total out at $ 70.00 for all the parts, then add about $ 40 in labor and it should
be done.
I also have a desire to get the side windows tinted with a reflective film.
It makes the car less hot on the hotter days.
Finally, Charles (WD6DTK) suggested i sneak in a tank full of medium grade
gas. I've been giving it exclusively premium grade, because of a knock that
was occuring when i used a lower grade.
g'night
You know Marcus, I agree with
ReplyDeleteCharles. I think they over-octane the 'good' stuff. You can put even low grade gas in a half-empty tank, that has premium gas in the rest of it, and get full grade performance. I do that a lot.
