Congratulations!!!! From Keith and Marissa
-
Does the timing chain cover have to come off to get this off? There are two flat head screws and three bolts holding this on. But one bolt I think has a nut on the other side.
-
Thats it !!!
-
Is there a torque value for the pan bolts? I also need some more input on how I should seal the pan gasket. I know you guys have different ways of doing this.
-
No Don, they do not. They are about the same diameter as a ink refill in a Bic pen and about an inch long.
-
anyone have any ideas?
-
The pan gasket that I have came with 2 rubber pieces that are round and about an inch long. What are these for?
-

Randy, is there supposed to be a o-ring on the strainer pipe? Or is this a fix that you came up with?
-
I pulled my oil pan tonight to get a crack re-welded. While I am in there what should I check? I am going to check the torques on the main and rod bolts. I took the oil pickup out to clean. I already did the rear seal what about the front seal?Also when you guys install a pan gasket where do you use sealant?(both sides of the gasket,left and right,front and back?).
-
Well I put her back together and she started right up. When I was pulling the oil pump I jacked the engine up a little to help with clearance. I used a block of wood under the pan and I must have disturbed a welded repair because I have a slow leak coming from it now:mad:. I guess I have to pull the pan and have this fixed. Can a shop weld this while it is still on the car or do I have to pull it off?

Guys don't laugh at me but I think I found my problem. I have a push button under the hood on my starter solenoid. I have been using this to crank the engine and to test for spark. What I just realized is that I did not have the key in the ignition in the on position while doing this. That is why I did not have any spark when testing yesterday! I do not have time right now to put it back together and test (have to go to work) but I think this may be it. I will let you guys know later what happens.
-
With the points open I just grounded them out with the ignition on and I got a spark. What does this tell us?
-
Yes the points do open.How do I hook up the meter to check the voltage to the ignition side of the coil and to points Don?
-
Yes, it is now on the compression stroke. At first I think I had the # 6 cylinder on the compression stroke. Even If I was off shouldn't I still get spark at the plugs? I know it will not run but I think I should see a spark.
-
Do you guys have a part number for the condenser? Can these be bought off the shelf or will I have to order online. Also if you have the part numbers for the coil,rotor, cap and points just in case that would be great. I do not think I have a external resistor or at least I have never seen one. Is there a tune up Kit that can be bought ? If yes where can I get the kit?
-
I indexed it by following the manual. At first I had TDC at the 3 o'clock position without knowing. I was 180 off , I re indexed it so the #1 piston was at TDC. This put the rotor at the 7 o'clock position. I just tried to ground the coil wire to the head hit the starter and did not see any sparks.
-
I put in my oil pump today.I primed it and when I got it in I pulled the plugs, cranked it and got oil pressure. After doing this I forgot to turn the ignition off it was on for a few minutes. Once everything was back together the car would not start. I checked for spark and there was none. Did I fry something by not turning off the ignition. What do I need to change? I pulled the distributor and have it on the bench now. Is there any tests that I can do to see if the coil and condenser are good? Or should I just buy both new and change the points while I am at it?
-
Should I use sealant on the gasket between the pump and block?
-
I received my oil pump this week and all looks good. I do not see an offset like Don stated. I have not pulled my old one out of my car but I think it is the right one. Should I pull the cover plate on the new one and put some sealant under it for some added security to prevent any future leaks or just leave as is?

I got this single wire sending unit from JC Whitney and modified it to work. It works great. I forget the part #. There is also a link on how to modify it forgot what that is also, I did mine a little different from the link. Im sure someone here knows what link I am talking about.

Crazy what people will spend on a car:eek: http://editorial.autos.msn.com/slideshow.aspx?cp-documentid=1100714&icid=autos_1018>1=22007

p24-1953 your interior looks Great for $1300. I may need to take a road trip to GA in the near future:D

I met someone with a 51 Chevy 2 door coupe at a show and his interior was just redone, he said it cost about $5000.
