Anyone going?,I will be driving my 55 sunliner down for some fun before winter sets in here in Ohio.  Put the 55 in the big garage so I can go over it and do a LOF before I hit the road,while its up in the air I will make a slightly longer pushrod for the modulator valve since the C-4 wants to slide into 3rd at light throttle.  I heard that there were different length pushrods made for the C-4s and since the trans looked like it had been gone through who knows if the correct one got put back in,got the cigarettte lighter working so I can take my portable Sirrius along with me and I put the marine remote for the stereo under the dash so I can see what station its on.  It fit in a gauge bracket and just happened there where two holes in the dash so no drilling,I had a guy at work make a original radio into a remote but I need to see what station its on due to the portable satelite works on FM frequency and sometimes need to be reset if there is a station using that frequency.  I hope I see some of you down there and if you see a mountain green 55 sunliner in a couple shades of that color that will be me.

I am glad I am going over the 55 as I found something that could of given me problems,I had the drive shaft made about 1 1/4 too short and it was moving around a little in the end of the trans and the radiator developed a leak.   I was leaning over the radiator to install another set of valve covers and the next day I noticed the radiator a little wet in the front of the top tank and found a pin hole in the soldered seam so its off to be fixed tomorrow,I would rather fix it in my garage instead of on the side of the road but could of used the money for the trip.  I was going to change the gears in the 8 inch because of a howl but I think it was the drive shaft and hope to have it back togather early next week.

Jeff: re your small rad leak. In recent posts here it was noted that keeping top tanks from developing leaks can be a problem, particularly with 13 lb or higher pressure rad caps. Unless your car is marginal on over heating, you might try using a 7 lb. cap...
