Well it looks like we are finally out of the woods. Parts installed and repairs made on Sunday. Drove quite a bit on Sunday evening. Drove in a lot of rain yesterday. Wipers working. Major leaks stopped. Minor ones located and I will soon fix. Stop lights working. New tach in. Only very minor issues remain. Many thanks to Rocky C. for all his assistance.

Tom:

Looks tough....especially like the hood straps....Those and the Nerfs give it that "Don't mess with me" look.

And what about that Rocky C ??? I'm tellin ya, the guy is EVERYWHERE!! On the Internet cranking out helpful emails, hanging out in garages ready to twist wrenches, rescueing stranded diesel motorists, just waiting for the time to be helpful to someone.

Rocky! "Mighty Power Stroke" has a Buddy; "Son of Mighty Power Stroke" is waiting to head North to Carlisle with Pearl in tow!!
Tom,

I look fwd to hearing all about the fixes, esp'y the wiper motor thing. While my wipers appar to work, I am betting that what I got is what you had, and so my expectation is not high. They are one speed (slow) and do not park. I'll be looking for how to improve.

Meanwhile, I am currently in CA on business and not two seconds after I pull out of the Avis lot in San Diego tonight I am passed by a white 1600 Super Coupe. Looked like a B. It was genuine, had exhaust out the bumper guards, and was just runnin' down the road. Had a very tame muffler, hardly made any noise. I plan to meet w/ MUSBJIM on Friday, and take in the Cars and Coffee thing Saturday. You could say I am CA dreamin' for a few days. Also will drop by JPS and say Hi. I'll tweak him about wiper motors, see what he says.
Thanks all.

I am really struggling with which car to keep. Beck or JPS. 2332 coupe or 1600 speedy. Year round or top down (no comments from Cory). Classic or outlaw. Windows or side curtains. AC or wind in my hair. Racing green or harvest beige. Bumpers or nerf bars . . . . oh $h1t. . . . what's a guy to do?

Maybe as Rocky suggested swap the 2332 into the speedy . . . Then maybe a suby into the coupe? Hmmmmm

Sounds like more cash I don't have.
