11. Funny!
We happen to be watching a Python special from somemyears back. It is a series of interviews and history with the surviving original members talking about the history of MP with clips of the shows and clips of their works before and such. The tape is titled Python Madness but this is a VHS made a Lorimar years ago. Not sure what the rwal name is, but the interviews and trivia is great. If you know what it is, cool. If you don;t recognize it, I could mail it to you, kinda like a DU Net Flix.

Hey — it doesn't happen to have a group of Python fans performing the Lumberjack Song, does it? I had a "thing" with one of the women in that. :)

34. It's always something.
My new engine is not yet sorted. It seems the solenoid on the high torque starter is going, but the company that I bought it from is out of bidness and I don't know on what import the thing is based on. I think I need to rewire the coil voltage supply. Something is up with my fuel pressure, which I think is being caused by gas caps that don't vent when the exhaust heats the gas tank. I'm gonna add a pressure reg to keep the carb from being pressurized forcing gas past the float valves (the main symptom, across several carbs).

and that's just the cougar. The '58 Ford is another matter.
