John 348/340HP Registered: 12/16/01 Posts: 1448 Loc: Glen Cove, NY	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 _________________________ John, 1931 4 Door Sedan 1953 2 door 150 Sedan 1954 4 Door Belair Sedan (parts car) 1960 2 door Impala Hardtop 1962 2 door Impala Hardtop 1962 2 Door Biscayne Sedan 1985 Caprice Wagon (Too nice to call unrestored) 1990 Cavalier 4 small doors

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. $\:D$ SPEEDLINE _________________________ "Life is completer in a boat!"

bowtieollie Backyard Mechanic Registered: 12/15/01 Posts: 283 Loc: Philadelphia, PA	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! _________________________ Oliver J. Giorgi Technical Advisor 1958 Passenger Car
