After a few discussions, I decided that the problem I experienced coming back from Ft. Meigs might have been fuel, so I decided to replace the in-line filter between the tank and the pump.

May 26 through June 7: Progress and another first!

We have decided that the primary cause of our oil leak is the crankcase breather, and are developing a catch can, out of found objects – as before.

We are going to use the original old style oil filter as a holder, and I have been buffing it.

June 7 brought the 17th annual British Cars at Ft. Meigs, and it was a good day for us!

We drove 110 miles through the flat farmland of NorthWest Ohio to Perrysburg, where the show is held in a park.  I had many good conversations with both knowledgeable and curious people!
