     Hello,

     Identified the rotted section of 1-1/4" feedpipe. I cut out the rotted
     section - about 12" of pipe from 2" beyond the engine compartment
     forward - clamped on the new piece of hose, started it up & it leaked
     like a sieve from the short 4" section that was left in the engine
     compartment. A short trip to my father-in-laws produced a piece of
     pipe 1-1/4" in diameter and 6" long - perfect! Clamped it in place,
     started it up...viola! no leaks. Drove it 4 miles to the in-laws, had
     supper, then drove it home in the dark and rain.

     When I had the wipers going I turned on the rear heater & it blew the
     fuse. Lost my wipers so I pulled over & replaced the fuse. It had an 8
     in it. I remember there being higher amperage fuses, so I'll need to
     get some. Does anyone know off-hand what amp fuse should be in the
     wiper/blower fuse holder? I have the owners manual, well, the cover
     actually. The mice ate out the whole inside leaving just the staples.
     Is it possible to get a new/used owners manual for an '84 GL? Does
     anyone have it scanned so that I might have a copy with which to
     figure some things out? What I really need are the fuse & light bulb
     charts. I still haven't purchased a Bentley's, but will be doing so
     soon.

     Also, are the valve clearences set hot and still at .006"

     Thanks for the info.

     Later,

     Michael
