Mary Lou has been sputtering a little when accelerating and not always starting right up. Part of that is on me learning what it takes to get her to start...how much to prime, when to punch the accelerator, etc.
Bill Ferrell is a friend of Cindy's from her high school days. He was best friends with Cindy's first husband Gary. In fact Bill even bought Gary's 1962 Chevy Impala SS that Cindy talks about so much. Cindy has reconnected with Bill through Bill's wife Maggie and they have become part of our "car community". Bill is a master mechanic and knows engines inside and out so he was kind enough to come over and diagnose what's going on.
He is a good teacher and I appreciate learning what's under the hood and how things should work. He ruled out what it wasn't and he's not sure we know what it is...but he did find that the connections in the distributor cap were dirty so those were cleaned and a new piece put in for better electric connections.
The sign in the background says "Mechanic On Duty" and yesterday he was 😀
