The weather was SO nice today. Mid 60s, overcast, but no rain. LOVELY! So, I did a little wrench turning on Regan (my 1967 Toronado) and got the alternator belt to NOT squeal when I started the engine. I also removed the remnants of a firewall mounted voltage regulator that is no longer needed due to the upgrade to a three wired alternator that includes a built in voltage regulator. After a quick trip to the nearest gas station to get 5 gallons of high octane fuel (required by the 10.5 to 1 compression ration of the 425 CID engine), I feed her and fired her up! Then went for a short cruise on TOP the mountain. I can't risk taking her off the mountain until I get the brake booster replaced, but it was really nice to drive my Demon filled Regan today anyway.
