ha!! I froze my butt off in that car for years!! Sometimes it would work OK, other times no heat at all. I pulled the monovalve out and looked at it twice. Of course it was always fine......
I hope you find China as good a home as it appears this wagon will have.

It was obvious since the car would not get up to operating temperature as well. It got high enough to not be doing damage by running too cold but put a damper on the heater.

Thanks for the wonderful story. Glad you got home safe. I'm in Houston, and I thought about contacting you, but then I read you were staying in River Oaks.

I just stayed in my cave....

My brothers house not mine. I couldn't afford the taxes much less the house.

Tyler maybe we can get a gathering together at MossGate lots of photo ops.

Well it has been a long day I'm headed to bed. I still feel like I'm driving!
