My car sat in the rain overnight a month ago and I am pretty sure SOME water got into the carbs. At the time it barely turned over and would not start.
Now it will not turn over at all. Pulled the plugs, jacked up one wheel, and tried to get it to move by turning the wheel. No luck. Could the water that got in have frozen it due to rust? Did I possibly create a hydro lock situation and break something? How can I break it loose? |

In fact am saving for the same. Just thought if it was a stock size I might be able to help you out. I know I just bought a 73 with the same issue. Anyway, good luck and holler if ya need anything. Still have some spare parts that might help you out at some point. |

So far, only one of the cylinders looks like its got pitting. Hopping its not so far gone as to be beyond honing out. The rings, however, seem to be rusted into the grooves. Gonna give them a long diesel soak. The generosity of 914 people never fails to amaze me. Sniff. Must have dust in my eye all of a sudden. |
