Glad to hear that Dennis P got his van running.  Better story that this 
about to be.

I was outside yesterday for 15 hours.

Friday night, I cracked the PG from the 64.
5:30am - Three hours to test map for the economy run, then started on the 64 
engine.
Saturday, spent all day cleaning parts for assy, pulled my engine about 
lunch, attached my diff/4spd to it, put on sheet metal, carbs, had to change 
rear motor mount and top adapter for an alternator.  What a PITA!  <2 hour 
interruption for showing my old RV to an interested couple>

Worked my butt off til 9pm.  It won't bite.  Nada.  Put another 2 hours in 
the morning with frost on everything.  Can't get it to fire.  Spins fine, 
used my good points, no fire.

Screw it - I'll spend the next 2 weeks trying to fix the knock on my 140.

Oh well, that's the way it goes sometimes.

Frustrated in SC
Having to lead the economy run in a dang Diesel truck.
Oh yeah, woke up this morning with water leak on the house.  Gotta fix that, 
too.
