The Shadow: February 19, 2002
by Russ Knize on Feb.19, 2002, under Shadow
Not much has changed with this car, since I have no where to work on it now. We hope to buy a house this year, so all of that will eventually change. Other than the continuing paint-peel saga, this car has been running well. The only real problem I had was when the center contact distributor cap burned off. The engine was running a little rough, which turned out to be because the spark was arching 1/4 inch from the primary to the rotor. How’s that for a strong ignition system! Next will be the transmission (the bearings are starting to howl), but I still have the spare A520 from the CSX. This car also got flooded twice last year, but I was able to dry it out and it seems to have survived OK.
