Checked brake fluid

happy to hear you're back up & running marty. will the bus be coming down for the westcoast showdown or the gcvws?

as far as a once over goes....it sounds like you have a good start. to add to that i'd adjust valves, gap points, check & adjust timing, check plugs, change oil, replace fuel filter, check and adjust carb if neccesary and do as many slurpee runs to 7-11 as possible. 8)
