Worked on the 360 Today...

["lumina333" <lumina3@xxxx>]

So nice here today (near 60, sunny). Removed the Power brake pump, 
reservoir, & bracket (anyone interested?). Took off the valve 
covers.....what a mess! The top of each head is covered with thick, 
black goo. I scraped most of it off (actually, it was dried on, so it 
kinda flaked off or came off in chunks). All but about 4-5 push rods 
will move with pressure. Doused the spark plug holes with Blaster 
again (bought a gallon can of it this time). Crankshaft is still 
being stubborn - won't turn. Guess it is time to flip the engine over 
and take off the oil pan. Better get the rubber 3/4 length gloves and 
goggles ready for this task! (LOL) Noticed a neat little silver tag 
screwed on the carbuerator with the AMC logo scribed on it, even 
though 'Motorcraft' is cast on the unit. Read the Firing Order on the 
top of the engine, looked at the '360' cast on the side....kinda neat 
to me, seeing these things. -Lu-
