Wow! I have this thing running well. 
Oil leaks fixed - check
New water pump - check
New heads - check
Stable idle - check
Fresh fluids - check
New rust free gas tank - check

This morning I started to think...wow this is running really well. Not 8 hours later on the way home in the driving sleet along highway 18  near tiger mt. - *snap* - and the gas pedal goes limp. 

I wish I had a spare accelerator cable! Let see, with some fishing line and chewing gum... Fortunately I'm only 60 miles from home and I have AAA
