I needed a rest from cleaning up after my dad. So we went south to mother in law
i lay here browsing the net and found this thought it was hilirious.
Was going to drive the Galaxie down here but the fuelprices now are crazy.
after Hitler2.0 attacked Ukraine
So i borrowed my mothers Mercedes 500SEC use half the fuel of the Galaxie
and it needs some exercise.
Brakes was dragging, idled at 1200 rpm was in kickdownmode all the time. Cant send mom to the store with a car that shift to
fourth gear at 110 mph
A few hours of troubleshooting and repair it was back to normal, Exercised the calipers,new pads,new switch for the kickdown
that was stuck in down position. lubed the auxilary airvalve and chucked up some graphite inpregnated nylon in the
lathe and made a bushing for the throtle linkage. Still to high idle when its warm probaly have to buy new valve
But of we went ,first to wifes hometown.....
in to the sunset
Next day we drowe ower the mountains
Better weather on the otherside of the mountains (and a 911 Porsche we soon passed
)
And down south it is summer
