I'm in the midst of a PCS move, garage is already moved to WA state, but moved the car to the forward base in MO (Parent's place). I swapped in some factory repro bracketry spacers for the A/C to curb the throwing of the A/C belts that I had last year, and also swapped in a new top switch after the original died in Austin last year.
Other than that, I've got two shakedown runs on her and she should be ready. Running fine and the A/C is working well. (My two kids will be doing the first leg to IA this year).
I won't be able to make the Long Haul this year and will be breaking off after STL in order to get to WA on time, and should be within 3 hours of home base the entire trip, so hopefully all goes well.Power Tour '16 Long Hauler, '17 Short Haul, West Coast for a few years now...

I plan to head home after St. Louis too. I have to return to work on Saturday at 3am. I won't have time to go to KY. I usually only do two or three stops anyway. First time starting on day one.
Got the el camino started with the new TBI setup. Only leak was the vent line from the tank. The rubber part was old and crapped out. I didn't change/check it because I thought it was perma-clamped onto the hard line. Oh well. I printed out my reservations.

Got EFI kit in and car started but vent line leaked, got a new line. Computer has zero miles on self-learn and I just remembered the POS stick on weights fell off the left front wheel(too much tire slime?) That and no A/C or rubber in doors or windows. Looks like I will just take DD and go. Is anyone going to Chux Trux? I am headed that way shortly.

I was never planning on making it this year, but if it goes east/south next year I'm going, maybe even it goes north... I just finished up the mod the car has needed on the 2014/15/16 tours I went on, a big ass radiator! Moved from the stock 17" to a 1969 24" 3 row.
So, she's all ready for next year now! lol3 Photos1967 Chevrolet C10 SWB - 350/700R/3.73
