First Road Trip
Took the ole 89 out for it's first road trip since I've owned it. I made the 285 mile round trip to Panama City and back without a hitch.
The temps stayed around 190 and the oil pressure stayed from 40 to 43 lbs the whole way. I also calculated 23 miles per gallon on the trip with about 2/3 of it being interstate, and I didn't play with it (too much, interstate ramps are just too tempting).
I also made the trip to see if the Lucas Oil leak stop would help the leak I have and apparently is has at least slowed it to the point where I can't smell it like before. I'll have to do some further inspections to be sure.
