Notes:
Various leaks, but doesn't seem too bad for an old car!
Engine will stall on turns after 10-50 minute break after being warm - carb warmup create gas bubble?
Dwell Adjustment in 2013 made big difference in loss of power under load - check every couple of years - last done 9/17/2023
Front left brake has clicking noise - this is OK - just pad a bit loose
Brakes pulsate a bit on heavy braking - especially downhill
Windshield Water Pump InOp
Passenger side rear light is out
