    My full time residence is in the Todd Park area of Charlotte (Tank Town) but I’ve been in SC (Johnson Crossroads area of Aiken Co.) since September 1st due to a ‘family emergency’ - one unexpected ‘death in the family’ and another one that is expected and imminent. Hurricane Florence was just a 'curve ball’. Closest town is Monetta, SC but the closest major automotive services are in Leesville, SC.

    The stalling-idling issue seems to have been cured. No more ‘erratic idle’ and I dare say the car now idles perfectly, even better than before the issues manifested themselves. I find myself looking at the tach to make sure the motor is still running!

    The last time the ‘Check Fuel Cap’ and 'Check Engine’ lamps illuminated, the local shop replaced the ‘fuel vapor purge valve’ (firewall) just over a week ago. I dropped it off at the Leesville shop not long ago so they’ll have it first thing in the morning.

    Picked up car today from the local shop. Vapor Canister Purge Valve was replaced for the 2nd time within 2 weeks - no charge. Shop stated they would use a Motorcraft replacement should this part fail again prematurely. The solitary local hand car wash/detail shop closed early today as the owner had some business in Columbia - getting car cleaned up first thing in the morning to remove the substantial storm (Florence) dirt/mud.

    Safe travels home.

    Thanks. Planning on driving back to Charlotte sunday. Marauder drove exceedingly well yesterday; last 'Automotive Harmony' experienced like this was with my 1969 Oldsmobile 88 Delta Royale 2 dr, 455 2bbl I owned from 1976-1978.

    Same colors, wheel covers as my car:



    Traded this car in on a newly downsized '78 3.8L Monte Carlo (1978-1980). Regret? Maybe. The Chevy got way better fuel mileage, especially after having a local carb shop 'rebuild' the carb. Many 'nickel and dime' issues but the car never left me stranded.

    Mine was silver with a red interior.





    Second most 'Automotive Harmony' car I've ever owned - 1967 Chevy Nova Wagon (1975-1977). Same colors as depicted. My car had full wheel covers, 283 2v, Powerglide, dealer installed a/c and WW tires. Sadly, this car experienced 2 electrical fires.


    Traded the Monte Carlo in on a like new 1979 Sedan Deville (1980-1982). Car ran well once I had the carb rebuilt but many nickel and dime problems. A memorable car but not a 'Automotive Harmony' car - same with my '71 Sedan Deville I owned earlier (1978-1981).

    Same color but darker, thicker roof:



    My '71 was the exact same color.
