I moved off of the yellow 67 to catch up with the 62. All around great guy Bill Wente hooked me up with an oil filter canister for the car. A little soak in Evaporust is just what the doctor ordered here.
 In addition, my Dad of all people that came up with the distributor cap.  Furthermore, I diagnosed the inop radio to an open circuit in the antenna cable. I've got one of those on the way. I've been driving this thing all over the place! Then I gave it to my Dad for a few days, and had to pry it out of his hands just to work on it a little more. The clutch and transmission are awesome! That's all for now

 Tim, how did you diagnose an open circuit in the antenna ? Just an ohm check for continuity ?

 The upside of that deal (for me), is I took a KILLER KILLER 67 L79 Corvette in trade from him. More on that later.....

Now that the 66 is finished up, I am able to circle back around for the next phase on the 62. My Dad has been driving this thing ALL OVER the place! I'm really glad to see him enjoy himself the way he has been with this car. So, more cleaning is in order, along with a small punch list of items. This car has been deemed a keeper by both of us and the car will not be judged. So, there will be a few decisions made that are a departure from what I may normally do.
A green battery in a car like this is an absolute no.......  The plug wires were parts store type Delco's. They usually have enough slack in them to wrap it around the driveshaft. In this case here, I'll build the correct length 7mm wires from Pertronix.  Disassembly for cleaning and detailing......
