Sometimes, things are bad, but they are learning experiences and kinda fun, even if they are bad!

New tires and hubcaps look fantastic!  Thanks to Dallas and Doug (East Coast Garage-look it up)!
I didn't take a day picture yet, too busy driving.  :)
How strange is it that the drivers side lug nuts tighten counter-clockwise?


On to the bad, but opportunity type stuff.
 The rough ride does not appear to be timing, distributor cap, wires or the plugs. I changed them all and not much change.  Thanks to Miss Jade for her strength and getting those evil distributor clamps back on.  Doug seems to think the problem is a bad cylinder.  I hope he is wrong, but know he is probably right. Tonight, I will teach myself to do a compression test.   After that, my dad will be visiting and we can disassemble, have it machined and get it back together if need be--learning opportunity.  :)  While we wait, I figured it would be a good time to hunt down the transmission leak, again, and beat that pan back into shape.  Might as well be productive, especially when I have my most trusted mechanic around to supervise and advise, yay dad!

Sad part, don't think poor Jezebel will make it to Billetproof March 17th.  She is already registered and it was my first goal.  Always next year, right?
