It's mid summer and time to have fun with my hot rods. I noticed the Studebaker isn't running right. Close inspection indicates I have a wiped cam. Just what I wanted to do, cam change. Well I still got the Corvette but now it seems the battery won't stay up over night. I hate chasing electrical...
