That converter was pretty much standard in the early days of Buicks.  RIP, Art

The worst thing a country can do is to change its  ways to make visitors happy by accommodating itself to them.

Not sure that either Dan, or me, consider ourselves great.  I think we are mostly happy to be mostly all here  :cheers:

Thank Goodness for dogs.  Mine is going to turn 15 come February and is almost totally deaf but she still wants to play a bit.  I am cooking her an egg for breakfast right now and I don't even cook one for myself.   :cheers:

When someone is here, I get in the mood.  When I am alone, it is easier to sit in a chair.  So, like you, I need to move more...Birthda ys are not really worth doing

I hope so. Needs a new suspension next. Vacuum brakes are very marginal. I would go manual brakes like I did on the Challenger but he might not agree. Hydro boost is a bit expensive.  Not sure how well the vacuum pumps work.

The news on the Green Mile is that sock inside the tank decided to disintegrate and plug the filter.  That's better than rust.

In '94, Mazda went to 1.8.  Many actually like the 1.6 as it revs a bit quicker...migh t be because one has to downshift more often.  I put a header and free flowing exhaust on mine.  Might have 2-3 more hp but it sounds good!

Jeremy, I hate to hear the news about your Dad.  Mine had a very severe stroke in the mid seventies and lived til 1999 but he could not speak well, refused therapy and was mean.  He was always trying to marry someone half his age and making all kinds of promises to them.  Had to establish a guardianship over him and my brother was nearby and I was not so my brother was in charge.  That made it worse because they did not get along at all.  It was not a fun time.  Hopefully, you don't have that kind of problem.

As far as throwing stuff away.  I swear as soon as I throw something away, I end up needing it and buying it again.  SMH.  My short term memory is  flaky.  I remember putting something up so I can find it but I don't remember where the heck I put it.  Does not help that I have too much stuff for too many cars.  My long term memory is good but that is not unusual.  I am lucky because I am reasonably healthy as far as I know and I can do  most things I want to and I can still be nice to those that help me LOL

I turned 82 today and am still having fun but my motivation is not always there if I am alone which I normally am.  They had real, original fritos at the store today and I bought some and took them across the street to the cafe and told them to make me some frito pie for my birthday.  I will probably be asleep pretty soon because they made enuf for four people! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
