Hi David,
Glad to hear you and Jan will be able to make it out! I would love
to have a copy of the DVD/CD, although I probably wouldn't need a
disc, if I could borrow them for a sec, I could rip them to an .iso
for my use.
I don't have any video, but I've got pics from a lot of folks so
I'll have to dig those up and see about putting them on a CD/DVD for
you.

Nothing is ever easy! :-) Been trying to get ready myself -
I've got some sort of intermittent ignition problem on the Willys. I
was using it to haul firewood up from the woods a couple of weeks ago
and a few times, it just quit with no spark, and I had to wait 15 mins
or so before it would start up again. I didn't have my multimeter
with me so I wasn't able to diagnose any further than no spark.
Subsequently, I've checked the point dwell, and that seems OK (a
little small, 45 versus the spec of 40 but it should open up as they
wear). The primary and secondary coil resistance checks out, although
I have only done that with the coil cold, not hot. I've driven it
around a bit since then with a multimeter this time and a spare coil
in the center console, but of course it hasn't quit on my yet so I
haven't been able to diagnose further. Dang intermittent problems!
:-) I've got an appointment to get its NY safety inspection Friday
morning; I thought about putting it off until after the BBQ, but
assuming all goes well, I should be back at DML HQ before 9, so I
didn't think it will interfere with the activities since the DML is
usually a bit slow to rise in the AM. :-)
