Decided that the Lark was being being drive to gingerly (not above 40 mph and infrequent operation) and thought it was time that I took her out to see what she could do.
So I got her out on the road then gave her the gas. With a 6cyl. and an automatic transmission the car performed as she should have and once she was up to freeway speed (65mph) I was surprised at how stable the old girl was. In the city the steering feeling like it needs tightened up, but on the freeway it handled very nicey!
She goes into the shop next week to get the brake pedal replaced, the emergency brake fixed and hopefully some of the play removed from her steering.
By the time I'm ready to sell her in the fall, someone is going have a very nice little Lark!
