As reported earlier, I am restoring the car I took my first driver’s license test in, a 1970-1/2 Pontiac Firebird. Now that the panel fits are being worked on, it is time to have the engine rebuilt. So I loaded up the original engine and all kinds of nice “go fast” parts to take to a Pontiac specialist in Bristow, OK for the rebuild. Well the delivery went fine, the rebuilder was excited about the project, and father and son shared some good bonding time. Then we headed home to Texas......
Ignition coils don’t last forever. In fact, some of them only go 342,441 miles before they quit. But after replacement, the X5 runs like it’s new again and the tow truck driver learned how to suspend a utility trailer off the back of his truck!
