100,000, c'mon...
My Travco's at 117 and raring to ...Sit under its cover all winter, actually.
But it's had good maintenance, top end work plus a nifty Petronix.
I dislike bending in half going after breaker plates.
An Edlebrock? Next item. Electronic chokes rock.
Vacuum chokes are from Satan /Bill Gates /Whichever.
Stick around, I'm sure you've got lots of expertise and we like picking each others' brains.

It was built like a tank. We had many memorable trips in it when my kids were young. However, when it went over 100,00 miles its engine started getting "tired" and it couldn't pass emissions. We were faced with putting in a new engine or putting the money into a new rig. We happened upon the HR that you see below and decided it was time for something larger. We love the new rig. It is bigger and much more comfortable for my wife and I, but we aren't able to take it to some of the great places that we used to go to. I wish we could have them both!

Welcome, Miles! There is something about the older rigs the new ones just don't have...personality

She's saving up for a van to drive cross-country after graduation.
NO, she is most certainly not taking my Travco

I don't think anyones dying statement ever contained the words "I wish I had spent more time in the office", so lets go somewhere!

Good for her, my cousin and I were going to do that after graduation, never did, wish we had.
I've made a few trips cross country in a van, full of kids, once with my mother-in-law......
Some how it wasn't how my cousin and I envisioned it.

And this is why I'm all for her to do it now, while she can.
No ties, no responsibilities, just Marge & her iPhone!
(and tools, a good jack, breaker bar, 2 good spares, serpentine belt, spare alternator, 2 sets plugs & 1 set wires, 2 coil packs, a torque wrench (I have two), oil, ps, brake fluid, a shop manual, funnels. I know she's forgetting something...)

Or concerts. Taught Margaret to take extra TP to the amphitheater concerts and use it to cut her way to the front of the Porta-Jon lines.
