Hey 59 SHorty...I dont know if the Blue Angels decided if they were coming or not this year because of the accident a few months back. Anyway...who all is in WA, and when does all the good stuff go on? (Swap meets etc.) I just moved up here (transferred by the Navy) in March.

Usually if the vent has not been opened in a long tine a good dousing with PB Blaster and wire brushing of the mechanism from under the dash is in order before opening it. The gaskets that seal for rain usually need replacement.

When I had my previous '49, it was pretty far along when I bought it. It had been a desert truck in 29 Palms California. At that time (before I got smart) I was a big-shot in the Computer Industry.
So I'm running about 70 down the Freeway wearing my million dollar Suit and it's pretty hot. I decide to open my Cowl Vent...... I don't think it had ever been opened. I was blinded by dirt so bad I almost crashed. I was covered in a fine coating of powder and leaves from head to toe........
