[T3] Addiction

[Brian Fye]

More steps forward, and back.

Forward, new rebuilt dizzy in and the car moves much better! Power off the
line and revs right up to where the entire front end shook. That's the
step(s) back. The entire front end started shaking so violently that the
wheels jumped out of my hand at about 30 mph. [image: Shocked] I jumped on
the brake to avoid the ditch and the car lurched hard to the right. [image:
Sad]

Tomorrow, I will be putting the front end in the air to find what is, or
maybe what isn't, loose. I think, I might finally get to go on a real test
drive tomorrow afternoon. Maybe... unless there are more surprises.
