Update: Made it home

It's a 30 mile drive, but today I didn't get on the freeway, It quit about half way home, after a few moments it started and ran for a few feet. Did that a couple of times then just waited for a stretch, then it started and got me almoat to the top of a hill thet I could have coasted from Sat there for a while and no start. Then a sheriff stopped. After a bit he said he'd push me to the top of the hill (he had pushers). I coasted most of the way home and it started about a block away and was running when I shut it off.

Good news: I got it in my garage.

Bad news: I've got a car that runs fine that I have to fix
