Just an update:

I made it down to Los Angeles going down the I-5. I encountered a few problems on the way:

1. The fuel light would blink every now and then and when it did, felt like the motor misfired or a better description would be that there was no fuel for a mere second.

2. Oil pressure was low at times. I think this may have had to do with the elevation.

3. Overheating - I think this was again, due to the elevation and it was stinkin' hot down the I-5, I suffered a pretty bad heat stroke multiple times. The drive down to LA took a while but in the end, I made it. On the way down, the water temp. gauge would stay between 212 and 260 with the overflow tank guzzling and boiling where some of it jumped onto the windshield.

Any leads on these issues would be awesome. Thanks!
