Ok, my earlier post I asked some info on shipping companys. Well I decided to do the fly in drive home route. I did this in exact drive (Yorba Linda to Denver) last year in my current car, and I am hoping my luck has not run out. This car is a 2.7 conversion though, and all sounds great according to the seller. Heres a link to what I bought, and yes the stripe is soon to be history (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
http://adcache.collectorcartraderonline.co.../8/42957288.htm So, other than learning how to correctly check oil level on a six, what words of wisdom do J.P. and other 2.7 guys have for me? Car checked out good, recent rebuild ect. But if it were you what tools, should I go to FLAPS and buy before I leave the state? I do have AAA and a cell phone (two very important tools). The worst that happened last year in the 2.0 car was shift coupler bushings that turned to dust ON TOP OF VAIL PASS! I managed to find 3rd, cut up rubber hose found on the side of the road, and stuff it in the T and Duct tape it. Got me home. Thanks and wish me luck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) And if anyone's close by on my way to vegas I would not be against swinging in to say hi |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif) I'm back, drive went excellent. I wish I could have hung around CA and met Sammy and some other people but I needed to stay ahead of the storm, (which I did). Car is faster than I expected, and louder! and likes to cruise between 3,200 and 3,500 rpm which is about 90-100 indicated. Car never went above 200 degrees and oil pressure was 60-80 between 3000 and 3700 rpm and 20 at idle. Hopefully those are good numbers, (i'm such a newbie (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) ). Anyhow, gotta start doing my homework on how to change oil, and tune. Car was as expected, and transaction was smooth. Got pulled over in Vegas outside of town doing an indicated 100 and the tags were expiered (never thought to check) but cop was a complete gentleman and gave me a warning (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) . I'll have more pic's and details soon. Thanks for everyone's help. Ferg.
