I just dropped my engine and plan to swap transmission onto a new engine and install. A few questions:
1) I had a tin hang up on the trailing arm bolt while dropping to motor. Is this typical? Will I have the same problem when reinstalling? Should the tins be loosened for wiggle room? What is the trade technique.
2) The stock injector rails seems like they would also catch. I removed them for the engine drop. Should I do the same for the install?
3) Transmission is leaking through the console. I got the shift console apart but can't get the seal out. What's the recommended method?
4) My old engine has electronic ignition on the distributer. Can I just swap distributers (I test ran the new engine with points)? The new motor is a stock 2.0 with Raby 9590 valve train setup, the old is a 1.7. I know Brad Anders site shows different part numbers, but does anyone know what the difference is? Is it the mechanical advance set-up. Both mine a vacuum advance/retard.
