Pneumonia sucks, I don't recommend getting it. The sleep is good though.

The valve spring thing was just a guess by my buddy, after he heard it running, since he had a similar problem with his '67 Corvette some time ago. Turns out a plug wire was arching due to a crack in the insulation. New set of wires and plugs and she is running sweet.

Iffn ya can get the wifey to walk a mile or more each day it may really help with overall health. Prolly need to start slow and build up if she has been sedentary for a long time. Good luck.

Nothing like starting the engine, opening the hood in the dark, and seeing little blue flashes. My wife's 95 Z28 still used plug wires. When we had to replace the distributor on the front of the engine. I asked about replacing the plug wires, the mechanics face turned white as he said, "Not unless they are bad, they are PITA to route."

I can’t imagine how cluttered that engine compartment mighta looked as compared to a vehicle from the ‘60s or early’70s.

With the way they design engines now, I don’t even think about touching too many things on our cars.

Nice looking car. My younger brother is on the lookout for a '69 Z28. Most we have seen are asking north of $100K if in good shape. 🤦
