If I didn't have a sense of humor-- I'd have to shoot
myself. Brokedown and going back on blocks! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif
Not a whole lot left of DPO Pedro's buggered up, half a$$ed
repairs left in Crypty to jump out and bite me in the butt.
So, feeling my oats on a job well done with the 100% my
own, hands-on, restoration of the rear suspension and the
excellent running condition of the engine and mighty fine
David Graves clutch install, I attempted a 72 mile round
trip to a project meeting this morning.
24 miles on the autopista at 70 mph Crytpy is keeping up
with fast lane trafic and sounding sweet. I gave Paul a
phone call to listen to the engine singing. We exit off
the expressway onto highway Route #2 and just past the 2nd
Light Crypty dies deader than dirt in the center lane of
the very busy highway and we coast to the shoulder-stranded
once again.
A total of 26 miles miles driven before this latest #&^!&*#
Pedro induced breakdown. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wall.gif
A nice '57 Belair owner stopped by and together we installed
the spare gas pump I carry in my trunk. Of course DPO
Dedro's existin pump was non-Triumph and his gas line
fittings did not fit the correct pump I had. We jerry rigged
the fuel line to my new Moss gas pump to get me home.
I'm thinking of installing an electric pump as an emergency
back-up unit with an on'off switch up front. It goes withou
saying, I will now gut every piece of DPO Pedro fuel line in
the Crypt Car and replace with new.
