    Drove it back and forth to work like usual. Did some brake work and adjusted the mechanical advance in the distributor the other night. Stopped to get gas today, figured up my gas mileage from the last tank, got a little over 30 mpg for the first time ever.

    Picked up 4 custom made rear axle u-bolts - because no one in the entire Dallas area had the correct size - and finsihed installing new leaf springs, shackles and bushings. Car sits much better, still not quite right but good, and rides much better.
