Well, yesterday I got my '76B running again after over a year. Between a wet 
spring, the incredible heat this summer,
some back issues and getting 2 sons off to college, I never had a chance to do 
anything with the car until now! But I filled
up one flat tire, took off my cheap Harbor Freight battery tender, disconnected 
the coil, spun the engine a bit to build oil
pressure, then had to blow some crud out of the fuel line, and she started 
right 
up! Ran a little rough the first time around
the block, and I still need to replace the front brake pads, and the carb needs 
some attention (that was supposed to be 

last winter's project) but it was nice to tool around the block a few times on 
a 
beautiful day.

That cheapo $10 HF battery tender worked like a charm! The battery was full of 
juice, which was great to see. I am going
to pick up some brake pads and try to get that done this month, then drive the 
car a bit this fall before rebuilding the Z-S
this winter. And now that this car is running, I can also get some work done on 
the '65 B/storage container.
