Perferated bovine!! How did I miss this?
SHE'S A BEAUTY... and at only 10K miles still a lot of miles to go, barely broke in!
couple tips for ya.
#1. CHANGE THOSE BELTS! I'll post the modern cogged belt cross ref number that you can get at any auto parts store. The 30 year old Honda ones get brittle sitting on the shelf.
2. www.ngwclub.com, best info on the net for these old 4 Cyl 'wings
3. There is also a Napa hose that when cut gets you both radiator hose needed...Cheap!
4. ALWAYS close the petcock when parked... and use the center stand for anything more than a short stop.
5. Although most dresser GL's are loaded with chrome accessories, stay away from the chrome engine covers that go from the valve covers back. They are nicknamed "stator cookers" for a reason.
 
I am sure there is more to come, I'll be back once I get home.
