@ Jo Clear (aka: Grasshopper)That’s the sort of thing which happened to my dad’s 1970 Plymouth Duster. That year, Chrysler dropped their 5yr/50,000 mile warranty and changed it to 12month/12,000 miles, I think. Anyway, the carburetor float stuck in the wrong position and excess fuel wiped out the piston rings at 12,500 miles. I was impressed that he did a ring job in Toronto, in a relative’s garage, 250 miles from home.
If you do go to see the Liberty Bell, be prepared for a near strip search. I’m still a bit perturbed about that, given what it is supposed to celebrate.
to ‘gopher gofer’: I don’t care how good you think Miss Nyro is: No one beats the lead singer from the ‘Fifth Dimension’ in doing ’Wedding Bell Blues! So there !!!

The first time I saw the bell it was on display in the center hall of Independce Hall in Philly. One could walk up to it and touch it.
