<VV> To do in 2014

[Frank DuVal]

Smitty, if you think you are done for the year, then:

1. You don't drive the cars

2. You don't have enough cars

3. You don't drive enough of your cars hard enough

Now, since I know none of the three are true, you are fooling yourself 
to think you are through with maintenance for the year!

See you soon at an event!

Frank DuVal

ps, I bet those items you listed were actually put on the list in 2013!

Also had a 2 year old oil seep I have not been able to find.  First, one of the two leads for the Cyl head temp going to the sensor ring under a plug was broken at the ring and inside the insulation.  Fixed that.  The other gages problem I found after tearing the AC, the trailer brake control, the electric antenna switch, the heater control. the radio, (with feeds for 8 speakers) and various AC ducting, out from under the dash, turned out to be a broken wire inside a length of perfectly fine looking insulation.  That was a real chore for this antique body.  So on to the oil leak.  I had to install a new rear motor mount which afforded a view not available before.  I spotted the source of the leak.  A hose  going to the aux oil cooler under the left fender.  So I fixed that in spite of being BBRT trained.  That took care of my 2014 “to do” list.  Spike is on the road again after some 60 months or so.  He needs some post engine teardown tuneup to run a little better, but I have 361 days to catch up on that.  Other than that I am golden and I will bask in my feeling of “all is well” for the next 11 months and 29 days.  It must suck to be you
