I-94 SAGA CONTINUED

[ronald b. kazi]

Thanks to Paul, I hooked up with Woodwards Garage in Kalamazoo where
several other GMCs are kept running. They diagnosed the problem as a
bad alternator belt and a bad ground strap on the starter. Did it fast
and reasonable. I would have gone back to get it but my wife had knee
surgery this week.

As a veteran auto restorer with over 10 partial and full restorations
under my belt from Austin Healey 100-6 to the Honda CRX-Si in my
driveway now (along with the TR-6, 1977 Bayliner,etc.) I am embarassed
that it was that simple. I guess if I had not been that tired, raining
and on the side of I-94, my GM engineer brother and I would have figured
it out eventually.

As for Richard Waters and his remarks about I-94. My brother lives in
Troy, MI and I will be traveling there on Thursday to visit prior to my
run back East. We will see if the roads of Troy are any more forgiving
to GMCs than I-94.

See you on the road.

Ron,
Don't count on the roads being any better here. We are in a major
rebuilding project however and so expect to be in traffic delays due
to construction. And then there are the famous "Michigan Left Turns"
and our computer operated traffic lights that do nothing but slow traffic.
At least you will be with in a stone's throw of the birthplace of all or our

GMC's.

Emery-

I sold the Healey. 100-6 BN6, Colorado Red, if I remember correctly. My
partner in the project was married...Need I say more. We still are good
friends.
