Craig,

The car in question is your old 76! Is it still under that 30/30 warranty or has it been more than 30 ft / 30 seconds? :D

Uhhh...I think that warranty has expired :D I am glad to hear that it is back in operation though.Is the new owner happy with the car? Every time my wife sees a red Spider,she gives me "the look" :roll:

Craig,

The car has actually been in continuous use, just with a bypassed heater core. The "knock" never did return 8) ! You can tell your missus that at least the primary driver is still a wife / mom if that is any consolation. On the other hand that may cause her to act on the look!
