I'm still here. Sure do miss the daily load of GMC emails. So easy to save/archive. So easy to reply. Almost always interesting and informative threads.

I've still got my '73 Glacier. Hasn't been on the road much in the last couple of years. The engine fuel & oil problem is well solved, but now it has another fuel delivery problem. I know how to T-shoot and fix - just too much other stuff to take care of.

Although, Ken, if anybody knows, you would -- what is the length of the oil dipstick from the hole behind the exhaust manifold into the pan? My dipstick tube broke off right at the manifold. I have a new one from Jim K., but getting the old one out (whether through the top, or out the drain hole as has been suggested, might turn out to be worse than not having any dipstick at all.

I'm thinking of fab'ing one up as a temporary that is short but long enough to get the oil level at some accuracy.

Glad to know there are still emailers around. There has to be a way to revive it.

To Everyone,

I'm still here, waiting to hear from anyone who's still using email! I'm
hoping the "GMCNet" email operation will continue -- at 85 yo, having been
here since about April 1998, I'm not likely to make the move over to the
"modern" alternatives. Simply got too many friends here, many of whom I
haven't yet seen, to abandon hope of staying in contact with them. Just
like my GMC -- I've still "got" the one I bought on 30 Apr 98, even though
my son, Alan, picked it up last week to fix the few little ills its
developed while idle for a couple of years. It may never make it "home"
again, but it will always be "mine".

Everyone stay well -- and let's hear from you, if only "Hello".

Ken H.

Richard,

I have a special request if you are still there. II was suppose to pick up 2 AC compressors from
Fred Huspeth. I am not there and need someone to transport them north to MI or Indiana. If you have not left
yet would you ask Fred Huspeth for them and bring them this way (North). I can make arrangement later to
drive to you and get them.
