Cruising the Gut

I went downtown today for this cruise. It was free but they were taking food donations for a local charity. I made a donation and got a goody bag. I bought a T-shirt for the event for $11 so it was about the cheapest car thing I've ever been to. I had trouble finding parking spots so I could take pictures. Here are a few. I even saw a few LBCs but we were certainly the minority. A guy from "CruZin" magazine came up and asked about my car and took pictures.

Hi Jim,

For some reason I can't ever open your photobucket URLs.

Anyway, I assume no loss of spark?

Weird, I'm not sure why you wouldn't be able to open them. I did lose spark 3 times before I headed down there today. I am pretty sure I found the culprit though. Loose spade connector and cold solder joint going to the ballast. I cruised the loop 4 times and stopped a couple times. It ran fine. I just have to redo my shoddy workmanship.

I found if I paste the URL into another browser (I use Safari on Mac normally), it does work. Strange.
