Bobby Burell in Delphos will probably have the generator for one.

Del's alternator in Salina would likely be able to rebuild it, have you tried Oreilly's or Napa?

I made an appointment to get a new transmission installed in the SD. It won't happen for a couple of weeks though, so it is just sitting.

Took My '59 out for a trip around the block yesterday, I found the carb is in bad shape, so I pulled it to see what I can do about it

aired up the tires in my JK, one was really high pressure the others were really low, but they weren't squatting, so I guess I didn't hurt them too badly.

I replaced the mechanical fuel pump in POJ the 78 Bronco today. 2nd time in a few months. The one I took out was sticking and not pumping. It is running again.

Good work Del!!

I went on a test drive in my TJ with a father and his very attractive teenage daughter who had never driven a stick shift before. I know the guy, and I know he could hand me cash, probably from his wallet for the Jeep if she wrecked it, but it still was a scary ride. especially on east hwy 24.

24 is like the final laps of a NASCAR race at certain times of the day.

Clean the idle scew seats tonight to fix a poor acceleration bog on the 78 Bronco. In checking the truck, I found one pf the fuel tank straps was broken. I used a rachet strap as a temporary fix.
