Rodney Bullock Posted August 26, 2011 Report Posted August 26, 2011 Ok, so i call Joe up so he can adjust the timing on my 1940. I get there and he has his car out working on it. He pulls his timing light out and We try to find the mark. We don't see it. can't find the mark. My car is idled up way to high and the air/fuel mixture screw was not adjusted so we change that then Joe pushes all my spark plug wires in real good. We play with his car for a while then I go. I'm on 495 and I am pushing my Plymouth when I notice all and I mean all the hesitation is gone. The car is running like it use to:) This is why this forum is so important. Now for all of you who could not be there I did a short video for you and here it tis; ) Quote
Jim Yergin Posted August 26, 2011 Report Posted August 26, 2011 Rodney, Thanks for posting that. Joe's car sounds great. Glad to hear your's is back up to snuff and that you are back to being out and about. I am looking forward to the day that you, Joe, Chet and I get all of our cars together for a caravan.

Joe Flanagan Posted August 26, 2011 Report Posted August 26, 2011 Oy. Now you have the original dufus on film. Rodney, I don't know if your problem was a loose connection at the distributor cap but if so, that was a cheap fix. Quote
Rodney Bullock Posted August 26, 2011 Author Report Posted August 26, 2011 Jim, I can't wait either:) We will be having uncontroled fun on that day. Joe and I are talking about going to leons in Culpeper very soon ....maybe we can stop and get you. Joe, I don't know but after I left you the thing ran great. I know you heard all that noise uunder the hood. I got my doctor tool out and listened around. The water pump did not have any grease in it. I greased it and the sound went away. You guy's should have seen Joe's floor, it was a work of art. He has done some real good rustproofing and sound deading in there. I have a pic of it. He can tell you what he did. You know I am not taking care of my car like I should. Maybe because I was sick. I am vey ashamed of myself. I got a good mind to ride right into the sun....rain...storm...earthquake....Hurricane...... Quote

JoelOkie Posted August 26, 2011 Report Posted August 26, 2011 Joe's a hell of a guy.... I am planning on going out to Fredericksburg sometime soon...be nice to see some of you guys while I'm there. Joel Quote
Don Coatney Posted August 26, 2011 Report Posted August 26, 2011 I believe it is illegal to have so much fun in one day. Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted August 26, 2011 Report Posted August 26, 2011 Don, we're still trying to get over the terrible feelings of guilt. We might get together again the next sunny day we have just to talk about it. Joel, let us know when you're in Fredericksburg. You're right in the middle of the Civil War down there. Close to The Wilderness, Chancellorsville, and a few other places. Quote
Don Coatney Posted August 27, 2011 Report Posted August 27, 2011 Rumor has it that Rodney will be producing a full length feature movie after your visit to the bone yard in Culpeper. I believe the title will be....drumroll... "Snakes in a Plymouth":D Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted August 27, 2011 Report Posted August 27, 2011 I might bring a fake one and toss it at him while he's under the hood of some old wreck down there. He'd have to catch me before he could kill me. Quote
Chester Brzostowski Posted August 27, 2011 Report Posted August 27, 2011 Rodney,Thanks for posting that. Joe's car sounds great. Glad to hear your's is back up to snuff and that you are back to being out and about. I am looking forward to the day that you, Joe, Chet and I get all of our cars together for a caravan. Jim Yergin Jim, Joe, & Rodney, Maybe sometime in late September, although I still may have some trim missing but that is what winter months are for. I will keep you in the loop. Chet… Quote
Rodney Bullock Posted August 27, 2011 Author Report Posted August 27, 2011 How did Don know about my feature, camera's are everywhere:eek: Hey Joe, That would be payback for Don's load horns, I could not be mad:rolleyes: Quote
