Thank you to all who have responded recently.
I neglected to mention that I am in Chattanooga. The " journey home," was from Morro Bay, CA back to Chatt.
I looked at the list of shops linked off of the home page and I have talked with Sal from S&P and the folks at Baverian Auto (they no longer have anyone who works on the older water cooled). I just wanted to see if there were any other recommendations, or reviews of those already recommended.
Incidentally, I discovered that the source of the mysterious starting issue was one of the temperature sensors. The "temp II sensor" that has apparently been a source of frustration for many over the years.
I still need a mechanic for some other engine maintenance, and would greatly appreciate all of the information that any of you card to offer.
Thanks again.
