<VV> ring job - looking for running engine

[Dave Smith]

Thanks, all.  I plan on showing up at the local meeting and I joined CORSA.

The description of the car is what got me to buy it.  I figured
correctly it wouldn't sell for much since it's a Texas car and the
body is a bit rough.  Plus December is a bad time to sell a vehicle.

It started right up and didn't smoke until 20 miles from home. I had
it towed after it died.  I put about 350 miles on it.  I can try some
Marvel Mystery Oil but it's undriveable as it is.  Way more than any
2-stroke motorcycles or scooter I've seen.
