515 miles (low fuel light on @ 499 in the middle of NOWHERE, OOPS ) , AC the entire time , mostly between 60 & 70 MPH , lots of hills I slowed down to 45 MPH on a few and used my hazard lights , the Big Rigs were even slower so I was prolly O.K. safety wise but.....

Startron used , the clear plastic intake screen look like the fuel is clear but the screen proper is stil dark , I think I'll change it the next time I get below 1/4 tank .

Car seems to be running fine , I *do* wish I had all four cylinders of compression but no oil squirting out every where so I'll prolly do a valve job on it when I get back to Los Angeles .

Rebuild the tranny to .

The R-12 Charged AC seems to be working O.K. , not great but cool enough when I hang my shirt on the rear seat headrest (TIP: when you find European Spec. Junkers @ P-A-P, GRAB the unobtanium stuff !)  and just wear my tank top .

Carrying and drinking , plenty of water in my 64 Oz. insulated jug .

I was told there's a $10 Senior's Pass fot Federal National Parks , as soon as I see where to buy it , I will .

I've seem more bums than usual and bought gasoline for two Couples , one was clearly B.S. scammers as their truck only took 5 gallons , the others I met in " DO NOT brake down here,New Mexico" looked pretty rough and had no cute story , just ' we are trying to get to Colorado ' so I bought them 10 gallons .

I'd hate to be stuck here .
