[quote=delta1]didja need to replace a valve spring too?
Cold, 45, this morning. Wife wants to wait until it warms up before she joins me on the morning walk.
I've been encouraging her to walk with me to get some exercise. She's been very sedentary the past few years after her back injury and the discovery of several cracked vertebra in her lower back. Then she had surgery to remove a large cyst that was growing in her abdomen between her liver and stomach. The presence of the cyst, which had 2 liters of fluid drained during the surgery, contributed to her back problems. Dear old girl has had several other health issues the last few years and I'm hoping that walking will help.

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.
