Well, I have run out of time, so I ended up swallowing my pride and calling a tow truck to take the van to a place for work. My original plan was to goto TNT foreign Car Parts in Seattle because my dad knew the owner. However, the AAA tow truck guy convinced me to stay in town and go to Scotties, a local "Custom 'Bug' Specialist". I got there and tried to talk to scottie, but he just didn't seem to listen to me, and I was getting bad Karma vibes, so now the van is on its way to Ivan up in Seattle. I'm still not sure what it might be, and I'm even looking into plane tickets for the trip home. I've found storage for the bus for the summer, but it would still be nice to drive it home. Anyway, Ya'll keep your fingers crossed for me that it will turn out to just be timing or something nice like that. I should find out tonight. nerve wracking, I tell ya. Ben Heavner P.S. You were right, who ever asked about the hydraulic lifters - it's a '77, not a '78.... nerves...
