Home 
The drive wasn't that bad, but the list of possible things that could go wrong swam around in my noggin the whole way. The biggest issue I had on the way was the throttle linkage not letting the engine return to idle speed, even though I know the spring will do it. I had to lift the pedal up with my foot. This made shifting into second gear at red lights somewhat problematic, as the transmission took longer to stop spinning before I tried to get into gear to take off again. I also have to find the slack in the steering as I was kept busy keeping it in the center of the lane. It doesn't wander bad but certainly it should keep going straight if I have the wheel centered.
The trip home was more eventful, as three miles away from the show the engine quit. One phone call and within minutes the M37 gang was on the scene to figure out the issue. Some how the float got stuck or sunk or the needle valve was stuck open and the carb horn was full of gas. Rather than try to figure it out on the side of a busy highway, I called Haggerty and had it brought home. It cranked up and drove into the shop after the gas had evaporated.
One buddy told me that you have to drive them to break down and that those who never break down, never drive them like they should.
A long day but satisfying to finally take the truck more than half a mile from home.
