I finally...

made it to Branso, MO. Wow this is going to be a dream job. The area is absoutely wonderful. Just glad to finally be settled. Moving twice in 4 months (IN to TN then TN to MO) was quite a strain on the family.
Even got DSL at home... Woo Hoo!!!

In my expierence if there is fuel in the oil it usually caused by cranking a fuel injected engine for long periods of time with no ignition and flooding it. The injectors keep squirting fuel in and it eventually drains past the rings into the oil pan. If that has happened, change the oil. I had to l...

"rev limiter" The computer only lets the engine turn a certain amount of rpms ...revolutions per minute...revs. It kills the ignition intermittently so you can't over rev the motor and blow it up. Sorry I don't want to confuse you. I was just being a wise-in-heimer. :D Follow DBrown's advi...

Have you checked the ignition coil? It sets on the driverside fender well. Also, carefully inspect the wiring and conector that attaches to the TFI. Make sure none of those wires are broken or bare and grounding. Especially the green one that is the Tachometer lead. If that one grounds out it will k...

I started driving before I was legal. Does that count? I got my liscense in 1985. I think I remember gas around $.86. I'll never forget getting rid of my Mustang II that I totally rebuilt in 1989. I could drive two weeks on 12 gallons. Traded it for a 77 T-bird with a 400 and a 33gal fuel tank. Two ...

Guess I should update: The blue one got totaled sitting in front of my house. The Brown one my neighbor bought when I moved to Memphis.

So this is what I have now and would not trade it for the world. Hope to find another BII when I get moved to Branson in a few weeks.

It's really a better job anyway. It pays about 20K more a year too. Can't complain there. My friend that built the studio was talking to the owner yesterday. The owner made the comment that he want's us all to be able to retire off of this venture. It's really going to be a lot of fun. Looks like my...

I got it for 2.06 yesterday in Memphis. A guy posted on fullsizebronco.com that he paid 1.86 in Missouri. Isn't Calif, Oreg, and Washington still around the 2.90's
