Pulled the plugs since when I took her out of my drive way and onto the street she was missing. The plugs look fine. 456 look like they've been running a bit more lean then the others. Still misses. I'm suspecting blown head gasket between cylinders.

Took her for a drive and she seems to run fine. Acts like she's running out if gas around corners but other wise the miss is gone and she's running strong. Not blowing water out the cracked bottle and getting up to normal operating temp.

Fuel pump is new, only 3 months old. Now after putting 40 miles on it after over heating its running like normal. Still has just water in the system so I'm gonna drain half and fill with antifreeze and order a new pressure bottle

Ditch the cap that comes with the bottle and get a 703-1396 from Napa instead.

Ask my wife. I'm always irritating her with my juvenile behavior. I just turned 59 last week. I agree. People ask me where I grew up and I tell them I haven't yet!!
