Thursday I'm replacing the rear main with a Best gasket 4164 steel rubber seal.
I know rear main leaks are prevalent in these older cars and I've had rope seals up the butt for 40 years and I'm sick of
not finding anyone to do the work.
I have found a garage that works on muscle MoPar and owners dad is close to my age and says he can do it but he prefers the rubber/steel seal.
Funny enough the car has one in it right now but it was installed improperly. The car had some drops dropping when I first got it but after a few days in a row of 80+ miles the floods broke out! A few drops I can handle but a half a quart every 4 days is to much.
Just hoping I don't have poor engine machining as the culprit!
I know its an old topic but lets see how this seal does, theres a few members I already contacted who have an interest.
ps; this car is a blast to drive, the overdrive is a huge plus. I got the carbs dialed in pretty well although the rpm's sneak up at idle.
Doc.
