Jody and Scott got some under-the-car-time yesterday afternoon. The Chevelle fuel tank and feed line became too hot to touch, then the car suffered vapor-lock type symptoms. I understand they had to push the Chevelle thru a couple stoplights after stalling
. Sources tell me they limped into last nite's stop mid/late evening hungry, thirsty, dirty and angry.
Jody called a couple hours ago to say they made it to Opreyland today without problems after jury rigging a new copper fuel line from the tank, up thru the trunk floor, coiled into an ice chest, under the carpets to the firewall then on to the throttle body. Cool fuel was the answer, so I hope to be able reconcile our friendship in a couple days...LOL
