Good news all around

Problems Fixed:
  • Leaking fuel pump fixed, thank you Williamsfield Motors!
  • Engine knock taken care of by retarding the engine timing. Sadly I do not seem to have the standard reference point, but I have it pretty close and no matter how hard I push it, no knock.
  • Distributor working  great after help from Tom from www.valleymotorsofwinona.com
  • Head gasket tested and passed
  • Radiator overflow and collapsed hose issues taken care of by a new 7lb radiator cap

The family is just enjoying cruising around town and making up excuses to drive the Hornet. I found that we can fit my family (wife & two kids in car seats) and grandparents together in the car. That is how we went to the farmers market last weekend :)
