Oil change in the morning with some QS Ultimate Durability 10w30, going to try out a Fram Ultra filter this time instead of the usual MO-090 I generally put on her (I've heard good things on an oil site I'm a member of, so what the heck!)

One method you can try is to support the rear axle and remove both rear wheels. Then, start the vehicle and rev the engine up to around 15mph and slam on the brakes. That should help loosen the drums. Alternating between Drive and Reverse may also help.

Good luck.

New cap, rotor and coil. #4 on the cap was pretty corroded and the inside was pretty bad too, but she ran good. Plugs and wires tomorrow, plus an oil change.

I fired it up after changing the coil, then after the cap and rotor, fired up, sorta. I accidentally kicked a vaccuum line and it ran like $%@#, gave everything a once over and pushed all connections back and runs like a champ
