    Just another "5 minute job"

    I am originally from Nebraska, so I FULLY understand that..

     

    I have no desire what so ever to return to the swealtering heat of summer, and the sub sonic temps of the winter..

     

    We have had 78 hours of 80 degrees or higher since last august. and I am ok with it.

     

    You spoil your cars rotten, your kids must LOVE you.. :-)

    Camshaft Troubles!!!

    Maybe, maybe not.. depends on where the cam actually stopped..

     

    I would go with timing chain before a broken cam, but cam is surely possible..

     

    easy check and only four bolts to get the cover off..

    I would do a compression check on all the cyls... or pop the valve cover off to check rockers are moving.. if the timing chain is broke then where ever they stoped, you could be closed on both 1 and 8 cyls.

    When you turn the car over does the distro spin ??

     

    Did you check the condensor as well??

     

    Double check and make sure the points are opening and closing. Should see a spark across them when turning over..

     

    Normal everything up, Turn off all the lights in the garage and look for spark somewhere it is not suppoose to be.

     

    Hook up a spark plug directly to the coil by pulling the end out of the distro. lay it against the block and check for spark

    removing scratches off the windows

    How big is the scratches??

     

    sand blasted some MC emblems into a guys 84 MCSS years ago with a Knight emblem I made on an overhead projector. (pre computer age.. haha) The emblem may cover up the scratches, and would look good in the window, if you don't like it you can still replace the window..
