This post will cover a varitey of little things so please bear with 
me:

1. As I stated before, I bought my car with one half of the ignition 
key broken off in the switch. I use the half-key to start the car. I 
hate this. -IS- it possible for a locksmith to dig that piece out of 
there? I don't want to replace the switch and have a 2 key system or 
rekey the whole dang car because of a 1/2 inch long piece of potmetal.

2. Mike Cohee and I worked on my fuel system yesterday. Lesson 
learned: Don't, just don't try to install plug wires on the 
distributor cap by slightly lifting the air/fuel mixture unit. I've 
been driving around with 2 wires disconnected. Only by completely 
removing mine was I able to properly route and attach everything. 
Also, I swapped my injectors for his old, but serviceble ones. I 
think I have about as much power as I should. They probably clogged 
because I waited too long to replace the filter. Finally. I need to 
buy that dang WOT microswitch. No good deed goes unpunished though. I 
snapped a banjo bolt off and Mike cannabalized one from his engine so 
I could get home. Thanks Mike.

3. Today, I shone a light under the driver's seat. Lo and behold, 
what do I find? The plastic dust cap for the speedometer angle drive. 
It's in perfect condition. The square hole hasn't been rounded out. 
My lower cable was rusted solid and wouldn't spin so I have to 
replace that. How does the angle drive come out so I can check and 
lube it? I don't know if it's ruined too or what. I want to order all 
my parts at once.

Thanks,

Rich
