Event Coverage The Rambler Adventure-Up The River

Be sure to wave when you drive thru Ft. Worth!

 

runnin 68 mph against a headwind mite be the whole problem, that thing's shaped like a brick...
good luck,

 

I'd guess it's the head wind. Those old cars have all the aerodynamics of a barn door.

 

Sends to be baci tonnormal. Huh

 

This looks like lots of my text responses when I send before reviewing. I was able to translate.

 

Took me a minute but I got it as well!

 

Jooo speeeek Squral ?
Jace, eye dew !

 

I just woke up so someone help with translation please.

 

Seems to be back to normal.

 

It does look like there is ice forming on the bottom of the catrb. Melts when I shut it off.

 

I'm thinking jet lag. Or maybe another stop at the World's Largest Six Pack.

NORMAL

 

This trip has been pretty boring. No roadside repairs to speak of. Maybe the trans will go?

 

I hope not!!!

 

I'm about to get into rain and some snow on I35 south of Emporia. That's enough fun for me

 

“Hangman hangman turn your head awhile”

 

Never leave home without one of these, a pair of tin snips, and some aluminum dryer vent ducting and an old empty, red Folgers coffee can, as a source of metal to do roadside fabrication.
Your results may vary, from state to state and altitude!

 

I like boring!!

Then we can see how to install tire chains in a blizzard!

 

I see a ballast resistor on the firewall in your engine photo. Maybe you can relocate it somewhere near your throttle body.

 

Put chains on my '77 Chevy 3/4 ton 4 times. Didn't need to, but living in SoCal we had to because the CHP said so. As far as I'm concerned that was about 5 times too many.

 

Rain? Snow ? Remember: Downshift and punch it.

 

The snow was fun. The road was OK, there was even a plow out.

 

Wow you one crazy sob.....

 

If the carb is icing, I bet the heat tube going through the exhaust manifold has a hole in it and sucking in exhaust with moisture in it. I had that happen to an AMC 6 I had.

 

Looks like a normal drive here…

 

in may !

 

I have one of those, it was my Grandfather's, cool old torches.
Hang in there Jim.
Any more excitement?
Great reading and fun, thanks for sharing ...

It quit raining before I got out of Oklahoma. I'm in Abilene now. It's chilly but dry.

The ice on the windshield was interesting, and a bit dangerous. I let it build up too much, then when I pulled off to clean it off, it fell in front of my eyes, I had to move around to see over it and stop. Also, the brakes had got wet, and took a while to stop, and it pulled to the side. After that, I checked the brakes pretty often.

 

Oh man!
