This is the first Internet connection I have managed to get so far.
If you recall, we tried to make this trip to the Maritimes 2 years ago, but only made it to Quebec City before a rod bearing stopped us.
The coach is running great this time, thanks to Dick Paterson's rebuild. Only issue seems to be excess knock counts, but I've retarded the advance back to about 31-32* and still get some. I'm wondering if the knock sensor is picking up something else. I don't hear the knocks myself. The counts are only under load so that makes sense. One of the oil cooler lines touches the shell of the KS electrical connector so maybe its vibrating against the KS?
We spent alot of time on the minor hyways which are covered in patches and full of ruts... also they wind back and forth, up and down alot... The one ton front end was the best upgrade I've done. With the narrow roads I'd never be able to stay in the lane with the old front end.
Michael B., We were planning on contacting you for maybe a quick stop by, but being self employed we got delayed 4 days so its pretty much a whirl-wind trip this time.
A 23' GMC pulled out in front of us in PEI. When they pulled into a gas station, we stopped to meet them. They are from Fredericton NB. They have a nice'73 but they don't go far in it. Not the internet types so they stick to themselves. Nice folks.
There is a large Newell rally going on here so we look like the poor kids on the block. I bet they never get off the beaten track to see the sights we get to see though!
Bye for now!
