Stopped by and fired up JustaG6 for the 1st time this year, Mel pulled er out in the driveway and I helped install her birthday presents. Maybe she will post up some pic's after a quick rinse off.

Birthday mod additions... But who's birthday? Mine or Red's... We're both happy so it's a win.

Glad you figured out the new phone and how to post! 

Thats justa awesome G6, Happy Birthday.

Way to go Justa dad!

Happy belated bday Mel! Red is looking good!

OK, so a new shopping complex opened and they will be doing a cruise nite every Tues.  Dusted off the GTO.  Pulled out my canopy to test fit my new banners for tonight,  They fit perfect.  Went to pull the GTO out...Nothing. Interior lights come on and I know the battery was JUSTA charged.  Loose connection in back of the Ignition switch AGAIN. WTF?  Fired up but was missing and backfiring wouldn't rev.  Going no where tonight.  Dig into this further tomorrow.  Here's a couple picks. Installed the sticker on my trunk  toolbox for the GTO too.   Tonight is the premier of Hotwheels show on local NBC channel.  Justa in time.  Frosty your blue banner will fit perfect too.

Justa awesome bro!!!

So I pulled the #1 plug to find it wet, black N fouled.  Was running real bad for Dream Cruise after all day of idling in 90* temps.  Was rough, but running last fall after I figured out the loose connection on back of ign switch.  Switched up to Pertronics ign, and the car is running so that eliminates points/condenser.  Could be weak spark from coil or bad lightning pipes....   Justa got back from the parts store that lead me into the age old hotter/colder plug range issue.  I've always been under the impression the AC 44S was the plug the 421 engine called for.  Tried Champions 1st and they were terrible.  (didn't have my AC44S waay back when I 1st installed the 421) Copper core work well until the edges wear off the soft metal.  Normal life back in the day was 20,000 mi, after changing to much harder Platinum type plugs, that hold the sharp edges needed to work properly, todays plugs are good for 200,000 or more miles.  AC no longer makes the 44S plug.  So do I go back to the 43S a choice I made years ago. that are now fouled and mis firing?  Or go with the hotter 45S plug?   Went with the 45.  Will test fire each cyl before I install the plug to make sure they are firing.  Will replace the lightning maker next if my problem isn't solved.

All it wanted was a fresh set of plugs.  Gonna go get some ice cream. 🍦And a fresh tank of Sunoco Ultra.

Look around at swap meets for the old AC NOS stock. From time to time I find plugs for Lucy and Black Beauty. I've stock piled at least 3-4 sets for each car, or more.

Had to take my WS6 to my very trusted GM dealer. The clutch isn’t releasing when I shift. I’m not mechanically savy they’re thinking air got in the line somehow.   I feel like I sent my child off to summer camp or something 🤔. They’re so good to me though. They put it inside the shop every night while they get parts. 

Summer camp, Mmmmm  Smore.... tire smoke. 

Hmmm.....Tire smoke....a Tin Indian.....making smoke signals? Coincidence? I think not!

Hey man whats your route to the power tour??

Did you get your WS6 back from camp yet?  Any plans for shows or cruise nights?

I leave Saturday afternoon, heading due south down I-75 toward Atlanta. I'm stopping in northern Kentucky for the night and then drive the rest of the way to Hot Lanta on Sunday. I have a 2-night stay in Griffin GA, south of the speedway.

Safe travels and enjoy yourself !!

Fired the new Sunbird motor finally......  Ran it on the water bottle fuel system.  Now start at the front N work my way back. Rebuilding the Holley, replacing all old rubber line, clean the hardline and finish up with a new fuel pump. ( if the inside of the tank is OK)

Well I changed the oil/filter on the 64, and then put in a driver side bucket seat that I had upholstered a year ago, that didn't turn out so good ! I'm waiting on another set that are at another upholstery shop that has done great work for me in the past! Hoping they will be done soon!! Drove the car around the block and everything ran great! Have to get car to my mechanic to put in new pass side ball joints, adjust coil-overs, and new front tires and then alignment! When new seats come then I'll install those and take car back to have floor mount shifter linkage hooked up, adjusted, and new floor shift steering column installed !! Just a few simple things !!🤑

Well got my seats back and installed! Center console is in and new tilt column is in turned out pretty good!! And yes I'm putting it up for sale. Realistically will take $28k PM for more info and pics or check Facebook market place ( higher starting price ) but bottom line is $28k

I picked up Black Beauty from the body and paint shop literally the day before I left for Power Tour. I will post pictures of her once I get a change to photograph her.

I got home Saturday night from Power Tour. The Roadmonster needed an oil change (after driving 2100 miles in a week), tire rotation, a tank of gas, and a car wash. It got it and now she's put away in the garage mahal. I still need to finish unpacking the trunk. I took an insane of crap with me - JUSTA in case.

What did I do to my car today I called the shop doing the work on it and asked them when it will be ready since they are over 4 months late
