The restoration of my 76 teener is finished and the car looks super. New paint, interior, trim, chrome, lights, wheels, tires -- the works. That's the good news. The bad news is that we just moved the car and the dreaded oil spots on the garage floor have suddenly appeared. After inspection, it looks like the oil is comming from the heads and the lower case. So here is the question -- do I rebuild the 73 2.0 with dual 40mm webbers or do I replace the whole thing? I am on the east coast so any decent engine will need to come from California. Help!

a set of rollup ramps or your floor jack, a few cans of brake cleaner, some rain gear, $5 to $10, and hit the local spray and wash. get the bottom side sparkling clean and find the leaks. if it's a grungy mess you'll just be chasing your tail.
