North to Alaska an Alaska Pinto Adventure Episode 1 The Great Plains

Dave, it's Imperial Mike. Well the Holley carb was the ultimate culprit as the float pivot pin came out. Either way working in the rain all morning in the hotel parking lot put a toll on us. We finished @11:30 or so and since it was still raining we just went back to the room and showered and checked out. Car made it home with no issues though obviously I need to address that carb. Either way I didn't have a way to thank you again for taking me out for the car parts Saturday night. You just exemplify on why fellow car folks will step out beyond their norm to help fellow car folks. All the best.

Any time! That's what we do.

Hi guys, hope you found a nice place to eat, I bumped into you at the Wal-Mart parking lot in Sudbury today! Great car, you two seemed like really nice people. East bound and down! West really but you know.

[@thewanderingpinto5979]

Bart Narasnek thank you. We are camping a couple of hours east. Enjoy the rest of the videos.

[@ColtLuger]

If you're heading back this way, drop me a note we'll have a BBQ for you.

[@thewanderingpinto5979]

Bart Narasnek We took the southern route home. Thank you for the offer, next time!

[@rvretired6933]

it was nice meeting you tonight.

[@thewanderingpinto5979]

Same here! Maybe we'll see you two in Alaska this summer. If you have any questions just ask.

[@goneretired7030]

I did it a couple of years ago and am planning on doing it again this summer...

[@thewanderingpinto5979]

I am also planning a return trip! Most likely when I retire in a few years.

@@thewanderingpinto5979 The reduced traction caused by that v6 will cost you more time getting unstuck than it can possibly save you by accelerating.

@@alan6832 by the time I had everything loaded on the top and back traction was not a problem. Never spun the rear wheel once, even on the Dalton lol!
