Twilight Zone!

I drove my Reatta back down the road where my crank sensor went out a couple of weeks ago to checkout exactly where were located when it went bad. Where we were sitting on the side of the road was even more remote than what I thought. There was nothing for a mile and a half in either direction. When I returned home and pulled in the driveway I noticed my yellow ABS light was on. I think I need to stay away from that place. LOL

Looks good to me...

Ronnie, that might be a haunted road. Some lost soul toying with people's vehicles at that particular spot!!! I guess they didn't scare you enough on your first visit!

Friday Kendall and I went to the Green Bay Auto Museum. The have a collection of cars from the 19teens to pretty much today. Most of the cars are owned by the Auto Museum but a few are displayed by various owners from around the country for a period of time. We had a great time. At any rate while I was driving the Red up [it was a hot day and the A/C was on] I noticed that my temperature gauge kept showing close to 220-225 the whole trip where it should read between 185-195 with the 185 thermostat I installed when the engine was built. I thought it might have been a bad relay not running a fan [I had that issue some weeks back] but that wasn't it. Never thought more about it until after I got home and checked further to see that I was down about 2 quarts of anti freeze. This bothered me so I checked around the engine and saw no leaks. Saturday we drove to my brothers house and home [temperature was reading fine] but I popped the hood and saw that the coolant was again low in the overflow tank. Picked up the passenger side floor mat and the carpet was saturated with antifreeze. So this morning ordered out a new heater core as well as some new heater hoses. I was told by Advance Auto that the preformed hoses were discontinued but Amazon had them for about $10.00 each so I bought 2. The core will be in tomorrow but the hoses by the end of next week. [Amazon had one and the outside vendor had the other one and is shipping later]. So today's business was getting the parts needed, downloading the "How to" [thanks Ronnie!], removing the passenger seat, cleaning up the carpet/floor mat, installing a bypass of the existing heater core and refilling the antifreeze so I can drive the car as I have a number of business appointments this week. 33 years and 313,000 miles on the original so I guess it could be about time.
