Well... No Lupe's run for my car.

I got it running right again (it turned out to be a misfire caused by a bad spark plug, of all things- a bad spark plug )

But, I noticed a shimmy in the steering during my test drive, and when I got under there to take a look I found that one of the big bronze bushings in my steering rack was all hogged out, and the rack was really loose inside there...

HOWEVER, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that an entire, brand new MGB steering rack for my car was only $220, including shipping. I was all puckered up, expecting it to be $600-$800.

So the new parts are ordered. Not happy that the car has to sit for another week or so, but VERY happy that I'm not broke, either.
