    Convertible door rattles cured!

    There's a striker plate on the door and a springy-brass counterpart on the front end of the quarter panel. Mine did not touch. Many rattles. Added two layers of the fuzzy-side velco to both surfaces and car feels like new. All rattles are gone! It's f'n dreamy, it is.

    Where I've been

    That, then, is where I must question why the Judge will not let me address the court Pro Se. And why I will be filing with the Judicial Inquiry Board. I have no idea whether I will have any opportunity to speak on my family's behalf tomorrow, or whether it will simply be just another date of...

    Where I've been

    Can't sleep! Waiting for meds to work... Did see full beautiful rainbow thus morning on the way home from work. How Frank should I be with the judge tomorrow? In early September she chastised me for not having paperwork. Shall I chastise her for not having HER paperwork in order this past...

    Where I've been

    Not some hell, I typed it was good to at least enjoy other people groove on the 66. Spell change always finds a way to screw up messages.

    Where I've been

    Court is tomorrow, senior atty has not consulted yet with me. I calculated 12600 dollars overpayment in the past 15 months. No idea whether I can recover any of that. No court action on the stolen 58000 is expected tomorrow. I suppose I have to pay off the total balance before any more "work"...

    Timing changes when I tight distributor

    I always put in 5 degree offset key to advance the timing, then as the chain stretches, it only comes back to factory spec. Helps low end torque,. Checking stretch is easy. Turn crank with bolt and breaker bar. Go back and forth and see at the distributor how much crank movement does/doesn't...

    Timing changes when I tight distributor

    Thanks for pointing out it's points. The gap is too small, making opening critical. I just went through this 3 weeks ago on my 66. Got to get it to 14-17 thousandths. Then it won't be quite so touchy about being clamped down. Also, the gap changes as the vacuum advance pivots the plate the...

    Petty gets a black flag...

    I was wondering if that was really one of the 66s they hung 67 parts on.

    Where I've been

    When I got to the end of my rope, I found she had paid some demon, using my money, to undo the knot at the end, and grease the rope 100 feet up, that it might never hold a knot. Free-falling since April 2016, still working my *** off but all the money falls into the abyss with me.

    66 Satellite Charging Issue - Need Help Quick

    Turn on ignition, pull wire off right side of regulator. You should see small sparking. That means the field coil circuit is good. The regulator.....was it mech or upgraded to solid state? By all means, wiggle bulkhead connectors.

    Where I've been

    Before and after photos. Lens is glued and taped back together. If anyone can spare a usable lens with normal wear and aging I would greatly appreciate one. Buying a new pair is out of the question.

    Where I've been

    Family is far and distant. I go to Forest preserves to calm down. A month ago a kid backed his truck into the parking lamp and grille on the 66. Got a police report taken. Two days later I had the thing back 99%, and the kids agrees to my shop charge of $300, but he's only paid $50 so far...

    Where I've been

    I spoke with the Judicial Inquiry board, and they are sending me a form to enter my complaints about this judge. Senior attorney has not returned my call yet, so I have also contacted the Illinois Bar Association, they too will send a form I can enter a complaint on. No way to qualify for...
