 Update

1.) new rings

2.) valve job - new valves

3.) new timing belt

4.) new gas cap  (water entering through old leaky cap)

5.) Stromberg rebuild

I won't even mention the cost (close to what I paid for the car).   But it is back on the road,  The latest problem is a noisy gearshift, but I think I will live with that until the bank account recovers from the other work.

Part of me says sell while it is running.  The rest of me says - this car is a hoot, keep it.

Thanks for all help and responses to my tale of woe.
