Whatever the mid range stumble problem was it has cleared itself somehow. The new axle bearing is somewhere in transit by Canada Post so I got by just fine with the axle and bearing from the 53 parts car.
I don't often get a chance to test the windshield wipers but they failed the test this time. They try but can't move more than a few inches before stopping so it was poor visibility driving home in the rain. Got a few minutes of driving video and at the show. Numbers way down due to the weather.
