I took Midgie up to North Carolina over the weekend. I couldn't ask for any better top down driving weather. Midgie got a lot of looks, and great comments. Even some thumbs up from guys on Harleys.
I thought the adventure was going to end about 15 miles from home when she just quit. Tach dropped to 0, all dead. Pulled over to the side of the road and let her sit for about 7-10 minutes. Fired her up, and carried on the rest of the trip without issue.
The alternator is still giving an embarrassing squeal when it wants to. It'a always around that critical 3,500RPM range. Gotta get it replaced as soon as I have the money to do so.
My speed was hampered by a vibration in the front end around 60-65. Not sure what's causing it. Plan to put the front end up in the air and snoop around. It wonders over the road. Could be tie-rod ends, could be steering rack. I've always suspected the steering rack could be a lot of the problem. It was supposed to be rebuilt, but I think they just put new gaiters on and repainted it.
