    oil leak

    My 350 4bbl had a leak at the seal. The dampener had a groove worn into it. I got a sleeve, put the dampener in the freezer and the sleeve in the oven and the sleeve slid right on. new seal, problem solved. I had a similar problem with my right rear axle. I got an offset seal to fix it.
  3. Way overboard question but does or did you vehicle ever have a trailer wire harness added? I have seen what it can do to the lights.... Another question, do all the brake light / turn signals work and are all the same brightness? I saw a guy used an 1156 bulb where an 1157 dual filament bulb was needed. This caused some big problems. Totally off subject but fun story, I think. A customer pulled in to the Ford dealership where I was a service advisor with a pick up saying his brake lights keep blowing fuses. I took a look and he did have a trailer harness with a plug in, covered, connector. The cover was open and the socket was packed full of SNOW!!! Good times back in 1973.
  4. Welcome to the club! Nice car!!
  5. Great question. I just bought some 10W-30 oil from O'Reilly and a K&N filter from Advance auto parts I found it hard to locate a place that even sells regular oil, all now are synthetic and with 167,000 miles on my 71 engine I am too scared to switch.
  6. Cloth on the pleated seat bottom and seat back areas and vinyl and plastic on the other areas.
  7. Reminds me of going to the Drive-In....................
  8. As close as I ever came. Bought these, haven't used them yet.................
  9. Are we talking Plastic or steel? Sorry if I missed that. If we all voted what would win as the best way to go, plastic or steel?
  10. Thanks for the info! My battery was made in Mexico.
  11. Just installed a DIHARD from ADVANCE Auto Parts cost, including TAX, was $201.65. 3 Year warranty Thanks!
  12. My battery is dead, I charged it and it started then several weeks later it is dead again. I have a SEARS DIEHARD GOLD GP 78 that is almost 8 years old, but there aren't any SEARS stores in my area. Suggestions? I don't want to spend a ton to have an original DELCO battery. Black is nice, not red or yellow....... Suggestions???
  13. These are from a 72 Monte in highly sought after green cloth!! 🤣
  14. Finished eating all we bought from our Granddaughter, now I weigh more than ever ☹️
