In preparation for replacing the carbs on my car with MegaSquirt EFI, I dropped the motor today. I am going to relocate the fuel pump under the tank and run stainless steel tube fuel lines down the tunnel. My car also had A/C installed, and I wanted to remove the compressor mount and replace the hacked tin.
Went pretty well - I already had the carbs and manifolds removed. It took me about 2 hours from start to finish with the engine on the furniture dolly. Some crud in the cooling fins and the oil cooler, great time to clean everything up. I am looking forward to a successful project. One question - I had about a cup of transmission lube in the plastic shift linkage cover when I removed it. Did this all come through the seal there? Must be, as I can't see anywhere else it could come from, just seemed like a lot. Attached thumbnail(s) |

QUOTE(markd@mac.com @ Dec 5 2004, 08:29 PM) More fluid than that came out, the cup is just what didn't drip out. Yeah, I could see more of it back there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif) |
