>Take a 16d nail and cut it off -- about an inch long. Stick it in the rod journal oil hole. Rotate the crank by hand and it should push the seal out. Will take a good bit of effort to get it moving. 
>
>If it's a rope seal you will have to drop the crank at least an inch at the rear. Remove the balancer and front seal, but leave the timing cover and chain alone. Drop the main caps 1/4" at front, 1/2 next, 3/4", and completely remove #4 and #5. You should be able to leave the rods on, but might have to pull the last two (or more). There is a pin in the block protruding down from the top of the seal groove. It's there to keep the rope from slipping. 
>
>Now that I took the time to type all that, I seem to recall that GEN-2/3 V-8s definitely DO NOT have rope seals, they have a neoprene seal. It's the old 196 and GEN-1 V-8s that have a rope seal.

>On? Friday morning I was heading out for some errands, and while driving south on rt 123 in rockland/abington, mass. I spotted? a 79 spirit hatchback, based on the grille and color?- the?Cumberland green? metallic color, looked real nice as it was going by, hadn't seen a spirit around here in a few years. other than a black? 80?GT parked in a?used car lot for?quite a while before it got taken away and crushed. Wonder if it is from a lister here or just someone's daily driver. looked nice in that metallic green.?
