Sheesh, enough with the list already :-)
Our '72 Hornet's engine went dud a month back, and I pulled the 258 from
my parts car and had it rebuilt at a local rebuilders, and it's been
dangling from a chain for three weeks now waiting for me to finish the
job.
I've been really busy, but I am doing it in stages. Got the trans out
last weekend; took 2 hours. THe motor was very tired when I got the car
from Ron; it burns oil, leaks oil, had a lot of lifter noise, and the
chronic lack of oil to the top end, which is what finally did it in;
#1's rockers weren't, so I assume bent pushrod. Noisy as hell!
Tomorrow or Sat. I'll pull the motor, and get the new one in place. I
have to get a new torque converter for the A904 so trans won't go in til
the following weekend.
