Hey if it has tits or tires it's going to give you trouble. LOL Hang in there I know it can be hard some times but it takes time to get the bugs worked out of a 40 year old car.
you beat me to it, I have had bad luck like that in the past but I learned from everything and hell now I can wrench and damn near build an entire car from scratch, not many kids my age can do that.....or would be proud of that anyway.
