Success can be exhausting

No, the Landshark hasn't sold, but it is running the best it has since I bought it. I ran a can of SeaFoam through the engine and exorcised 25 years of buildup. I may try it again in a few weeks to see if there is further improvement. After the SeaFoam, I had to reset the timing and the idle. Unless it broke my fuel gauge, I think I'll be getting slightly more than the six miles per gallon the Landshark was posting previously. 

update, so, the mileage has increased to a whopping 10 City, 14 Highway. Still not great. It's obviously running rich from the exhaust smell, but I think I'll run a few weeks like this, SeaFoam it again, and then start fooling with the mixture. So far no further interest from buyers, but as Spring gets closer, the idea of a project car becomes more appealing.

The Landshark is leaving

My electrical problem is fixed.  It wasn't the alternator, merely a shorted out wire to the alternator.  Much less expensive to fix, but time consuming to find.  This was the last repair for the Landshark.  While it has been a lot of fun.  I am starting law school in a few weeks.  My reading list is long, and school is a 30 minute drive.  Fun and enjoyable will have to wait for a mid-life crisis. I need reliable.  

The Landshark can be yours!!!  Look for it on Craigslist, (or by moonlight)
