I finished my restoration 4 years ago and have been driving regularly every summer.
This morning on my way to work I was pulling into our parking lot, downshifted to 2nd, started to accelerate and the engine went dead. I had enought speed to put in the clutch and coast to my parking spot and that is where the car sits now.
I trouble shot it at lunch time and found the fuel pump is blowing fuses. It runs at first and then kicks out as usual before I start it. As soon as I start it the engine runs for less than 2 seconds then it blows tha fuse again. I'm going to trailer it home after supper.
All in all, for a 36 year old car that's not too bad for the number of miles I have put on it.
