Re: Penny

Got some tinkering done the past two evenings. I replaced the radio capacitor and wiring harness bit in the dizzy that had been chewed by the rodents. Also replaced the cap and rotor while I was in there, but probably didn't need to as they were decent with only a smidge of corrosion. The rotor still has Made in USA stamped in it, so another indication that this truck may only have 57k original miles. I finished up the spark plug wires earlier this evening, went to start it, and proceeded to turn the ignition cylinder to the lock position and I don't have a key.....
Looks like I'll be taking the steering column apart in the next couple days. I can at least clean up the steering wheel a lot easier that way, so I guess it works out
