Just back tonight from a 500 mile trip, went down to San Blas from Mazatlan, then up to Tepic, then home 5 days on the road, I love this car.
Have still not got the cruise control sorted tho', it is much easier on my back if cruise works.
Can any one tell me where the cruise disconnect, switch is on the brake pedal, gonna really try to fix it before we head north.
Thanks all,
Tony.
I'm hoping this was a Pick-A-Part yard list ? .
Have you looked closely at the rubber boots on the drive axles yet ? .
If they're ripped or even cracked , they'll need replacing ere long and there's plenty of rebuilt ones on wrecks and junkers others have given up on ~ 1/2 off a rebuilt drive axle would be very sweet indeed .
OH....I thought you said "this is so gray" ;)

Hey Chip
I've earned each and every one of my grey hairs and I'm darned proud of them and will never ever talk about hair coloring!
In fact I think I've gotten a lot more grey just from reading group messages!
Oh no, it's from struggling to get my car back on the road! :)
BTW Tulips are one of my favorite flowers! :)
Good enough Tom, but I am drawing a line in the sand on flowers and hair color.Chip, I have known quite a number of men who turned to "Grecian Formula" to get rid of the grey, so that they could look younger for both job hunting and dating. How different is that from what women do? In a message dated 1/17/2012 1:19:25 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, czulli@gmail.com writes:

Never nothing on my driveway unless it's me so it's hard to run into myself unless I've been drinking that stuff some guys use to clean out their tubes. Max

Oh Chip.....
Humph. I NEVER have and NEVER will discuss hair coloring! I'm darn proud of these grey hairs...I've earned every darned one of them! I think I get more each time I read a message from Chip! Or is it trying to get my '80-81 300 D-T running??????
BTW. Tulips are my fav flower! However...maaaaany yrs ago while I was in my early 20's, I was job hunting. A guy told me he had a job for me, planting two lips...took me a while to get it cuz he didn't spell it. I was embarrassed when I figured it out and really po'd.
Oh and it was a MAN that got me to test drive the first T-Bird! HA!
Now see guys! This is what I am talking about. Now they have got us reading about new old Thunderbirds. While they lasted I don't think I ever saw a man drive one of those.
Next thing you know, we'll be talking about tulips and hair coloring. We all know about the camel's nose under the tent and here it is.
Good enough Tom, but I am drawing a line in the sand on flowers and hair color.
