re: trouble in paradise

Hey all,
Greg Merritt and his lovely daughter, Emily, came by today and helped me
work on The B.  (THANX, GREG & EMILY!)  We changed the plugs.  Greg says
I need new wires.  The #1 wire is especially bad, the little clip inside
it came off and stuck to the plug.

After he left, I took The B. for a spin around town.  She's running
pretty good (much better, in fact) except for 3 problems:

1) Very slight hesitation at stop signs, but not every time

2) backfired after a stop, as I pushed on the accelerator

and the worst problem:

3) when I went to back out of the space at 7-11, which is on a slight
incline, I had no power at all in reverse, and then the car stalled.  I
kept trying, stalled a few times and finally managed to get out and
home.

Lori
