South Meet Convoy?
I am about 75% sure I am going to be able to make it to the Roadhouse. Anyone interested in heading down together?
It takes about an hour to get there, so if we meet in the AMC 24 in Hamilton's parking lot around 10:30 and hit the road by 10:45 we should be there right on time. We can gather in that first section of the parking lot, right behind Uno's.
Who's in?

I'm still not sure which car I'm bringing so that will determine my travel time and if I meet up.

What difference does it make which car you take?

Did you get to the store to grab a replacement pump? Fuel pumps are a breeze, all you need is a jack, jack stands, and a ratchet set. done in under 2 hours, no problem.

I'm not gonna cruise at 75 mph in the 70 with no overdrive. I'll have to wait until tomorrow morning to decide which car. Both are filled up with gas and ready to go.

In tank pumps are a breeze, done a few of them before. People just over complicate the process and create ways to take longer. 2 hours is a minimum time, if someone is doing it for the first time it may take a little longer, but not much.

So if it's not an electric in tank pump, what is it? Electric in-line, or mechanical on the block? Both of those are an easy swap too...

Jeff, I have no problem following you and letting you set the pace - it saves me gas.

Upper PHB bolt on the right side can be a bitch. On both of my GTA's the bolts was very hard/rusted solid.
I feel for you Jim, good luck with that

I'll just meet you guys down at TRH. I'm going to leave a little earlier to cruise at a comfortable speed.

Looks like 2/3 of a tank but it wasn't quite filled up. I should have taken the 2000. Now I need to fill the 70 up again and buy another quart of oil!
