That's the current plan.
Why, are you interested in following him up here? He might need a ride home if the work is going to take more than a couple hours.

more concerned about him making it all the way there...not sure of the condition of his teener.....
.....I do have some respect for those willing to spend some quality time on the shoulder of some remote highway waiting for AAA.

I think as long as he is within 100 miles the tow would be free.
That's some consolation if the car lets him down on the way here.

Thanks all for all your advice. I took the car to a mechanic recommended by a member of this forum, (great guy)He checked my timing, my valves, they were all good. he made some minor adjustments to the dwell. the biggest issue was with the carbs that needed to be setup and a leak on the exhaust. There was a leak where the pipe is attached to the exhaust. took them apart and put them back together. Re-thread some bolts. he spent some quality time adjusting the carb’s air and throttle, clean my plugs and adjusted the linkage between the two carbs. I drove the car for about a 100 miles today and all I can tell you is that the fun has begun.

The drive was smooth I monitored the head sensor that I installed and the Temperature was between 300 and 350 the whole ride. My oil sensor temp stays a ¼.

My next step is to put the car back together. I will be posting this on the other threads that I have started related to this issue as it may be beneficial to other members.

Big thanks to Ray (Rmital) and Zach (Vaca Rabite) who gave me the motivation and help me make it that far.

Sounds like you found a good resource.
I doubt I could have done better in a couple of hours on a Saturday.

So what did you learn? You should have stayed and watched and participated so you could do it yourself next time or help someone else in the future.

Nice!
Now you need to drive it down to Hershey in April so that I can see it!

It is my how to exchange and help anyone in need with the knowledge that I gain here or elsewhere. I owe it to the wold as all the members reached out to me and will continue to reach out to me as needed. I beleive that most of us here feel the same. The world wouldn't be what it is if we did not help each other. After all that what it comes down to. Help someone to the best of our ability to save one more 914.

as to your assumptions that I did not stay or learn anything, I will not entertain you by giving you an answer. I will be a member for as long as it takes. Just sit tight and read. You Wil gt your answer.
