Small town livin' is good.
I've been putsing with a customers 65 gto this week. Tri power 389, and it is running really bad. I moved it around about 15 times throughout the week without driving it, and the plugs were fouled, and it was all loaded up from all the cold starts on choke without ever being driven to clean out the pipes.
I come in this am, and needed to take a good test drive. ( I also added power brakes , so I wanted to make sure they were working good ) .
It was spitting and sputtering, and barely running, so I lay into it really good to clear it out. 1st gear mmmmm 2nd gear, mmmmmm 3rd gear mmmmmmmmmm, oh ****, there is the local police pulling out of the diner heading the other direction.
I back off and drive back to the shop gingerly . 2 minutes later ,officer unnamed pulls in my parking lot. All he wants is to tell me that the car sounded beautiful going through the gears, and he would love to go for a ride in it when I am done.
