How Sweet it is? :)

Chet;
Glad your old girl is once again running good. Did you get your power steering repaired on that other vehicle?

YES.., The problem was my Son-in-law?s Goodyear Shop.? They cross-threaded the hose they replaced.? Great news.., I got to bust his stones while having dinner that same night.? I know he was thinking that he should have never touched my car.? Even though the repair was parts cost only the warranty implied is always the same.?? ?You touch, you own it.?

Which leads to another story.? Years ago I owned a contracting business, which helped to put me through school.? Needless to say whenever something of a construction nature came around the family always look to me for advice or to do the required work.? ?Consequentially I didn?t mind at first but as the years rolled on the work become more and more of a hassle.? ?Only recently I found out after my wife?s mother passed away, at the age of 92,? that she thought I enjoyed doing these projects so much that she would go out of her way to find more for me to do.? How nice.!!!? ?The moral of the story is,? best to complain about everything and stay away from doing favors for family.

Congratulations, Chet.

I interpret that as good things happening to a good person.

I'm glad it turned out well; I know how I'd feel in similar circumstances.

Regards,

I drove the 29 to work today, just a couple of miles.? After the oil pressure odyssey I decided to take the old girl out for a spin after work.? I drove a good 35 miles and on the home stretch I pushed her up to 50 mph on the car?s speedometer.? I sustained that speed with throttle to spare for a good 2 or 3 minutes.? Oil pressure was rock solid at 45 psi which in reality is 40 psi.? The engine remained nice and quiet with no bearing nock.? At idle she maintained 20 psi which was telling me that the pressure relief valve was closed and all that wonderful oil flow was going to my engine components.



When I got home I parked her under the shade tree in the front yard and snapped a picture.

What a great day after a very scary time.? I have to admit that Walter P. picked a very hearty engine for his Plymouth line.? After driving a good 40 miles round trip to the car show on Father?s Day with minimum oil going to my engine components and a ton of bearing nock the old girl bounced back in good stride.? ?It just goes to show you what a great car old Walter P. built in 1929.? As an aside the wife followed me back to our rented garage and reported that I was no longer blowing smoke out of the tail pipe.

How Sweet it is,? Chet?
