it was below the first tick (190?) all the way to work this morning, stop and go traffic around 35 minutes, with the AC on MAX, fan speed 2. Roughly 85 outside. Test drive yesterday it barely creeped above it, but we were at 102 or 103.

David, your amp install is the bomb-diggity....if/when I install an amp, I'm totally copying your install.
Very nice!

So American Canyon, CA / Napa had quite a shake (6.0) over the weekend... This happens to be close to my place. I have an old/ very poor quality IP camera that I just leave running in the garage and it got some interesting footage...
So what I have done today is decided I need make sure my Jeep hardtop doesn't fall onto the car!

If you have anything hanging over your car, please make sure it is secure.

Crazy video! Glad it doesn't look like there was any major damage.
I've heard from others in Lodi that felt the quake, but I slept through it. Still haven't been awake to feel a quake since moving here in 2012.

Finally tackled the shifter bushings in the manual linkage. Thanks to Ozzie (and Mike) for the great guide on his blog! And since I was in there I gave the shifter assembly a good clean and removed all the 30 year old dirt and grease and other detritus in the frame.
Before and after. Well, almost after. I greased up the shifter after this picture, but then it's harder to see how clean it was :P

Replaced the paper gaskets on the W pipe. I've had the gaskets for a while, originally as part of an order with replacement spark plugs, wires, distributor, etc. Those have never gone in, and the paper gaskets I thought might help at least a little bit in eliminating any remaining sources of unmetered air/vacuum leaks on the car.
Easy job really. Funny how that happens when you finally get to work with some bolts or fasteners that aren't rusty. Noted my deceleration springs look very nice, so that rules out those as another possibility why my idle has been sticky in the past.
I found the torque value in the workshop manual for "Inlet Manifold Fixing Bolts" and figured since there wasn't one specifically for the W pipe, this would due. It called for 9 ft-lb or 14 N-m. There's nothing really unusual about that except the conversion isn't correct. 9 ft-lb equals 12.2 N-m and 14 N-m equals 10.3 ft-lb. Not that big a deal I guess, just odd that they didn't get it right. Must have been the exchange rate or something back then
