Made it through parade,
first thing that I found not working was the Alternator, will take alternator to repair shop Monday. I have always had 12 volts at the garage and I thought that it did not charge to 14 Volts because of no load and low idle, and it always started car. ( got home after about a 15 minute drive with lights on, down to 11 volts )
Second Big item is to remove the Two water pumps and ship to SKIP. The car cools itself moving through the air at speed, ( (130) but the car overheated on temp gauge in parade conditions. The temp will just keep climbing if at idle or slow speed. ( stopped car at end of parade and let it cool, filled back up with anti-freeze, fluid loss was 1/2 gallon ) I think that the pumps are corroded after setting so many years, will remove Monday. Merry Christmas to All!!!
