Well with all of this bad, nasty winter weather comming to the Northeast I took my 60 out for a last ride before they cover the roads with salt. Put in some fuel stabilizer, and slooshed it up in tank! It just felt good driving that big block in cold clean air of January ;\) I forgot how much fun it is to drive, it felt good to get ride in, and I just wanted to share

I'm jealous, John, my garage has been sealed up since November. Thankfully, it's heated and I get to putter on the old Chevys all Winter long. The'll come out of hibernation about May 1. \:D

Ollie, you wont be saying that about solid lifters after you adjust your valves a few times \:D I put the hydrolic replacement in mine, I got tired of getting oil all over what was then a freshly restored engine compartment, but it was good to rev it up a few times before she went away

I agree with you John, setting valve lash is a chore.

But I don't drive her everyday - so one valve lash setting will most likely last me 20+ years!
