Several points to address. Oil change. I also have a somewhat unusual KEP clutch for the 3.2. It requires (according to documentation) a large clutch cable throw. I made a bell crank by making the cable pulley center as an eccentric. That needs reevaluation and rebuilding. Getting all of the grease and dirt gone is critical too. Then there is the center console. I have step down bucks for USB, but I need to mess with the panel. So it stays put during driving. Then there is the clock. It has gained a day and a half since the RRC2022. Probably will replace it with a plastic VDO clock. Making sure the wipers work too. PM thunderstorms seem possible.

I am running headers. Will bring a down vest, but how cold is it likely to get at Steamboat? Maybe some sort of long-johns? Or maybe sweats.

Then it is on to the PNW where I hope to own a garage. When King county says OK.
