We in the automotive business have a saying, "Nothing like seeing taillights
down the road!"
It means that we have done our work well and the satisfied customer is
proceeding with their trip. When you see headlights or emergency flashers a
short time after you see taillights however, that is not a good sign. Nobody
likes come backs, owners or technicians.
Bon Voyage, Dan & Teri. by the way, can't you make that high tension wire
harness look a little less cluttered? You do have a transparent engine
hatch. <Grin>

We put a few miles on it and everything works, including the fan clutch. I think we have no worries. Had a noise in ac and the linkage needs adjusted. Will do that in the morning, settle up, and head to Duncan. The engine sounds very sweet and runs great.
You can see where we traveled on the tracker. John drove so I wanted him to drive it like he thought he should. He hotrodded it a lot more than I would but I am glad that he did. I will clean up the wiring when we get home.

Dan,

That's great news. Congratulations. I hope you have enjoyed your stay in Tucson. It's a wonderful city. I only wish you had been here under better, less expensive circumstances. Now...off to bigger and better adventures.
