The car is in Chillicote, Ohio. Let me know if you want a number.

Update The problem was the intake manifold gasket. Several of the center bolts on the manifold were only "finger tight", and the front valley gasket was pushed out of place. When I was degreasing the engine, I flooded that area because it was a catching point for the spilloff. The removed...

Got the same problem...on a different thread. I'll be watching your dilemna with interest...

OK. Here's the story... Engine was running a bit rough when I got the car (66 289). Charging system was on fritz, etc. So I checked the radiator and added the required quart or so of 50/50 water/glycol. After running for 15-20 minutes (while messing with the Edelbrock), I shut it off. LOTS of...

Don't the POR-15 type products convert the rust into an inert, hard, paintable surface? The promotional material leads one to believe that the process is permanent, and strengthens the material treated. Or am I just gullable?

Check the dipstick tube. It uses either o-rings or a rubber bootie, depending on where it enters. When you stop the engine, half the converter empties into the pan, filling up the tube. If your o-ring/boot is leaking, you gotta flood.

Huh?? Doesn't the AOD need a computer to interface with, too?

I bought new Belkin (NAPA) mounts (1151's), same number for both sides. I did compare them once they were out of the car. My initial impression was that the drivers side mount looked a bit shorter than the passenger mount, and had some "tearing" diagonally across the rubber. Closer...

I had loosened all the holddown bolts and removed the ear bolts from the mount pads, and then lifted the engine into the proper alignment before tightening the bolts up. This, and the new mounts, seems to have solved the problem.

Well, good news. I slide back under the car (after letting the space heater take the "edge" off the cold garage), and loosened everything up on both sides. This included the two 3/8" bolts that mount the pad the saddle mounts bolt thru, which ended up being the kicker. I got the wood block...

Well, I thought of this, but since the "pipe" of the Z-bar is what is out of whack (that is, the engine pivot is lower than the frame pivot), any of them would exhibit the same angle.

After spending a chilly evening under the car trying to change both mounts, I'm not quite done sewing things up. I did notice that the drivers side mount (the "low one") appeared shorter than the new Belkin mount in total height. The passenger side was approximately the same size as the new...

My daughter's "new" 66 289 coupe has a strange problem. The equalizer bar will not align with the bracket on the frame, slanting down to the meet engine pivot. I bought two new "ear type" motor mounts in the hopes that it is simply old, tired mounts that have lost their shape and size causing...
