Sounds like NC needs a vote the dummies out wake up call. Don't go outside because of midigation, but make sure you go out and get Corona virus at the DMV. Dumbasses. Hope you are well Jim.
Our previous governor and previous Charlotte mayor Pat McCrory publicly admitted the election process in North Carolina is rigged in recent times and not worth fighting. I switched to an independent shop last year and now he's closed and not answering texts for voicemails - bummer. My fallback is the local Ford dealer - ok for normal maintenance, state inspections, car cleanup, parts, etc., but useless for intricate work on older cars like Marauder and Mustang.

My car is going in for its annual service next week. Getting power pedals repaired and check to see what has caused the return of the rough idle. Plugs were changed for the very first time last year to NGK TR6V upon recommendation of a Marauder Specialist who worked on Marauder in the past. Some stated they were probably too cold for my NA car w/tune. Compression was down to 150psi in #4 cylinder, 175psi on all other cylinders. Motor sounds fine at the tailpipes but I miss the cold smooth start and having to look at the tach to make sure Marauder is still running. Fuel mileage is still good - similar to my Mustang. No CELs and haven't checked for codes - shop stated there were no codes last time. Waiting to see if any other issues come to the fore.

Two weeks ago, the Marauder needed rear control arm bushings on the front end suspension. I come to find out that since the diameter of each end of the bushings were different on the OEM lower control arms & they were no longer available, I had no choice but to replace both lower control arms & used Carfixer's alignment specifications afterwards. The original ball joints were still surprisingly good.
