There's a Crispy Waffle in Shorewood. That's just before 59 merges onto I 55 near the I 80 intersection. I could be there just before 10.
I'll check back tonight for any interest, or to see what everyone may be doing.

I plan on leaving my house around 9:00 shooting down 59. I'll stop by the Crispy Waffle in Shorewood.

The shortest , quickest way for you would be 59 south to 88 west to 39 south to 80 and back 3 or 4 miles east to 178---if you guys want to meet for breakfast there is a Cracker Barrel just southwest of the junction of 59 and 88---over the overpass on 59 to first lite, tr and go west less than one block for cracker barrel--mobil station on corner of 59--after breakfast back to overpass and go west young man!!!!
59 is a mess after 59 southbound pass mall and no lites timed, yuc---

Welcome to Utica, I80 exit 81 to Ill RT178 has construction (demolition ) in progress WATCH FOR THE POTHOLES!! Forcast is for a cloudy 47 degrees rising to a high of 57 with 20-25MPH wind, J C Whitney north parking lot is not sheltered to wind so dress warm. There are several good places nearby for lunch after the show, this area has a good number of interesting backroads for cobras. It will be good to meet all that brave the ride.

I left my house @ 1/4 after 8 to fuel up and my car broke down on route 59 1/2 mile from my house. Mary and I towed it backed to my house. I'm not getting any spark to the plugs so I pulled the distributer cap and the rotor is not spining I've seen it before on other Cobras in London Ohio looks like I possibly sheared the pin on the distributor gear. Crap this sucks that I am able to even figure it out! That is so NOT ME!
I am going to attempt to fix it on my own, wish me luck.

:eek:
If that's the case, try and find out what caused this failure. Is you oil pump locked up? Might be time to remove the oil pan -- and at least find out if there's any metal from the sheer. Good luck |

SloMo, good to see that you're still around, haven't heard from you in a long time!:(
AND you think Wolfie is about to pull his oil pan?:confused: You don't know Wolfie!!! :LOL:

Well I pulled the distributor out and sure enuff the sheer pin had sheered. I could'nt find a sheer pin so I used a 6 penny nail, that should be fine, but I can't get the distributer all the way back down the hole. I can't get the gears to mesh properly, maybe I should grind the head off of the nail! I gave up after a while. I'm gonna pick up some more cinder blocks this week. I figure about three under each wheel will get the car high enuff off the ground where I can get under it to drop the pan. Heck if I go 4 high I should be able to stand under it. I might need some help to lift the car up onto the blocks, or I guess I can barrow a jack from one of my neighbors.

Wolf,
I'm working until 9:00AM this Saturday but can help you drop the oil pan. I've got a jack, stands etc. Let me know if you need help and what time to be there.

Thanks for the offer Ralphy, but I think it would be way to much of a hassle for you to bring your lift all the way to my house.
And Frank this weekend is not looking good for me, I have commitments that I can't break on saturday and sunday I'm gonna be thinking about my mommy all day. Cobra is gonna have to wait.

Yup, still hanging around Rafael! And yes it's been a long time no doubt. Sure I think the Wolf can pull the oil pan -- but now getting that distributor in correctly, well that's another story.
Wolfie, everyone knows to do the job correctly that you must stack a minimum of 5 cinder block vertically. If you're going to do it, do it safely. Run a bungee cord or some elastic from your roll bar to at least 2 rafters. That way if it falls, it'll come down nice and easy. Hope this helps! |

Yea, then take an old rug and lay it on the floor as an extra cushion for your back side.

SloMo that rafter suggestion just gave me a great idea, instead of using bungees I can hook my come along to the roll bar and just lift the entire car off the ground. INGENIOUS!
AND LEE, for sure I'll be putting a rug underneath cause I know that I'm gonna totally miss the catch pan when I pull the plug.

Wow, that's a GREAT idea Wolfie!!! But as a friend that's concerned about your safety -- make sure the rafter is not to big for the come along. You'll want to strap it to a 1"x3" or a 2"x4", but make damn sure it's a hardwood, something like pine or balsa. Good luck pal
