  • 52 seconds you'll never get back

    Well, I finally made it to You Tube.

    I'm no Roman Polanski but here the first video of the 83 Avanti at idle without all the leaks. They are all fixed but it took a while to contain all the Dex-Cool. Luckily my heater leak was a hose not a valve or heater core and they were new.

    The sounds from the engine compartment are not lifters (They are quiet) but a combo of electric fuel pump and the Accu-drive cam gears - Kinda R2 like

    As a thought, don't all you southern folks wish you had our fair weather from Michigan.

    There's trouble ahead for the forum as I can now post pictures and videos.[}]

    Bob, next time include an intermission halfway through so that I can go to the kitchen for a snack & beverage.

              I think thats 52 seconds that I don't want back. Sounds great. Where was the cinematographer? Shouldn't you have been in the car revving it beyond the redline a few times???

                Kinda think of this as a first date. You ain't gonna see it all yet.

                Hopefully in the spring (Gotta wait that long!!??) I'll do a Jeff Rice drive by or maybe we'll get a few warm days before that.

                  No need to rush... gives you time to flush that nasty Dex-Cool out and replace it with decent coolant!

                        I like it,
                        Sounds tough.
                        Careful with all that ice around, keep the shiny side up!

                          I must suck at this...
                          I have never gotten any of my seconds back...ever
                          And I have tried and tried.
