Well I wouldn't brag you worked on it too much so here you go:
the bottom pully bolts were hand tight, one was stripped. everyone of the intake bolts were lose, when i pulled the motor, one of the converter bolts was totally gone and the other ones were lose, the starter was barely hanging on the engine, which i had to replace as the starter went bad.. the alternator was shot.. had to buy a new one.. The motor was out of time, because the dist. was tightened correctly.. the rear main seal was leaking, as well as the transmission pan was leaking bad as well.
i wasnt bragging,just stating the fact that i know the car personally,not just someone that read a thread about it. It is very hard for me to believe that a car that went down the track on a high 6 second pass has an out of time engine. Hanging starter? Have you ever started an engine with a not-secure starter? It sounds awful. Car started fine and drove on the trailer and off the trailer in to Jason clutches.The other host of problems listed are just not true.Now it is quite possible that the alternator died.You know,alternators are not known for living forever. Like I said,I was just curious as to what the "hidden issues" were. Thank you for the reply. I will not get in to a spitting match here as to whos word you should take on this matter-mine or whoever posted that list of issues(Jason,i presume)-but i will say this: If you never knew either of us personally whos word-according to just this forum-would you take? Mine or the guy who gets accused of trickery all the time? Hey,wheres the thread where olds48 screwed somebody or lied to them?...oh,thats right...THERES NOT ONE! Just a little food for thought. Again,thanks for the reply. Good day
P.S. Thank you for the kind words mopar1968....but don't think that's gonna earn ya any slack this summer :lol:
