dear all
just spoke to adam on the phone
it seems the distributer arm was the trouble as best as he could describe to
me
(cell phone kept breaking up at his end as he spoke)
maybe the bolt that holds the distributer arm in place let go ...
maybe advancing his timing etc etc ..
his voice was unclear because of poor cell coverage ...
anyway bottom line is the van is on a lowboy headed for dallas ..
and he is continuing trip
yours
