RE: Re: RE: [old-chevy-truck] RE : Fuel Needs
. Lowlight: all of the neglect and rust in all of those wonderful Cheys. Last night on the road; finally got to sleep in a teepee at the Holbrook Wigwam; which was a boyhood dream. You see, my Dad thought they were too garish, back in the 50's and wouldn't stay in those type of Route 66 artsy/touristy places. Even with the supposedly repaired items coming back to get me; I had a great time.

That site is not very accurate. I live in one of the towns that's listed and the station listed doesn't sell ethanol free gas. I thought the blend was a federal mandate - guess I was wrong.

Re: RE: [old-chevy-truck] RE : Fuel Needs
Randy Rundle of Fifth Avenue Antique Auto Parts, told me to put in a little less than a pint of diesel fuel, every time I filled up my 1950 Chevy; during my trip cross country, after the Lambrecht Auction. Before I did that, I got vapor locked, in NM; after I started adding the diesel; no more vapor lock. The diesel does something to absorb some of the ethanol; exactly what, I don't know. The auction was a hoot and a combination of a gypsy carnival/soy bean field, mud run, good ol boy soiree. People were bidding like it was monopoly money and other people were scratching their heads trying to figure out the psych up to the auction that created the frenzy. The locals all turned out to witness the circus and were all just wonderful to meet. People were selling everything from fudge to beef jerky in their drive way stands. The Lambrecht Chevy Building was a Mecca to which everyone was drawn to take photos, right in the center of Pierce. On auction day, I parked my Aztec Tan 1950 More Door Chevy, right smack dab, in front of the building and it became a photo prop for the day. That was my own contribution to the weekends excitement. When I came back to retrieve the Chevy, an older gent, who had spent the day sitting in the shade and watching all of the people, said he figures over 500 people took pictures of my car during the day. Well, the next day, when anyone saw me driving it; they would say Isn't that the car that was parked in front of Lambrecht's yesterday? And, that would start a whole new conversation. Saturday AM, before going to the auction, I watched a patriotic parade in old downtown Norfolk. Being as there are many small towns in that area; every Jr and High School band within 50 miles was in the parade. That was the most bands that I have ever seen in 70 years of parade watching. Saturday night, I went to the Extra Special Cruise In at the Norfolk Sonic Drive In. It was the biggest turn out they had ever had; as there were vintage/collector cars from all over the country. Once again, many people asked if my car was in front of Lambrecht's on Saturday. I did have Carby problems, in addition to vapor locking, one time. Turns out the float was set way too high and the bowl over filled and started leaking. Not only that, but the garage that supposedly got my cat road worthy, also forgot to connect the accelerator pump external linkage and so I used my choke a lot. That is until a JC auto shop, instructor, in La Junta, CO, inspected the carboy and adjust the float and connected the accelerator pump. My carboy still leaks and will get it properly fixed now that I am home. Only had rain one day, fierce NE wind blew off my magnetic reflective sign that read ARIZONA OR RUST, missed the flooded parts of the South Platte and got out of Nebraska, two days before the blizzard hit. I fell in love with the Chevy as it cruised along at 65 MPH with 19 MPG; after the carboy was temporarily fixed. Highlights: seeing that Cameo pickup sell for $140,000, seeing a guy spend $2,000 on a rusted out 1950 Deluxe Chevy to get $4,000 worth of SS trim, bumpers with guards and wings and front and back fender gravel shields, a radio and Deluxe Hood Ornament; auctioneers working of of a flat bed trailer being pulled up and down the rows of cars, dozens of seniors with walkers traipsing through the mud, just to experience this once in a life time event. Lowlight: all of the neglect and rust in all of those wonderful Cheys. Last night on the road; finally got to sleep in a teepee at the Holbrook Wigwam; which was a boyhood dream. You see, my Dad thought they were too garish, back in the 50's and wouldn't stay in those type of Route 66 artsy/touristy places. Even with the supposedly repaired items coming back to get me; I had a great time.
