Hi all,
We've rebuilt the 218 in my 54 Cranbrook. It was going fine but in the last day it has started backfiring and then stalling - the fuel pump is new so I don't think that's the issue. Any ideas on what might be causing this or where I should start looking?
Also we replaced the clutch at the same time. The rear main seal had been leaking for god knows how long and causing the clutch to slip - but it found the gears easy enough. Since replacing the clutch assembly getting the car into gear has been an absolute nightmare. Getting into first is not a problem but then trying to get into second is near on impossible, and same from second to third.
My mate helped with the car - he basically did it all and I paid him - so I don't want to go back to him and say he's stuffed anything up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
