I wasn't getting pinging.. smell seems to have mostly gone... I don't drive it much and keep it in storage so next time I run her I'll do a thorough sniff test. Trying not to be affected by wishful thinking as I was with that valve... :)

I have an update... It's been quite a while. The smell did not go away after all... I hardly drove it because of that, though she got a nice fresh paint job. But I do have great news... Most recently, it occured to me to check the timing. Yeow!! It looked to be at least 20 degrees advanced! I...

Lol

Exactly what I need. Thank you haven't looked since I posted but hoping for the best with those bolts as this has mostly been a dry California experience... About those suspension parts... Do I need to get a fork tool or what's the best way to get those off?

What's the best way to drop the pan without pulling the motor?

Getting that oil pan out without pulling the motor seems like a bit of a challenge.. looks like I might have to remove some suspension pieces or exhaust pipe and at least lift the engine up

Thank you.. is the oil pan and rear seal something that can be done with the engine in the car?

72 Fury 360 auto Transmission needs a rebuild. I've also had to epoxy the bottom of the oil pan due to pinhole leaks and now the rear main has a bad leak. Also have some seepage at the front. Option A: pull motor and trans and replace engine gaskets and freeze plugs and seals. I will have a...

Thanks Ben!!

I wonder if it makes a difference... swirls the air? IDK....

Yup... They were fine until I took it all apart... Good now and lesson learned..

Hooray for Dave!!! Thank you for the tip and especially for responding so quickly :) I pulled the carb and sure enough, the plates were not completely closed as in the first pic below... I loosened the screws (notice the brass 6/32 I modified because I lost one!) and moved the shaft back and...

Here's some pics... Going to loosen the screws and see if the plates seat better

Thanks Dave! Pulling it now and gonno put up some pics... trying to beat the rain :)

Car was running pretty good but bogging when I stepped on it. I saw the pump was only squirting into the left horn. Gaskets were toast so I did a rebuild. The only snag was when I dis-assembled the StepUp assemby (with the metering rods), there was a piece of seal or gasket stuck on the spring...

I am happy to see there are other ways. That's a beautiful thing :) I chose the special tool because it came with the seal (plus extras for my other car) and allowed for the available space. I'm getting a bit "aged" and had a hard time seeing and maneuvering under the car (wish I had a lift) and...

Excellent! So out of curiosity I just went out to the toolbox and found the tool... Never did pull the old seal off the extractor!

Hi! Yes, the leak has not returned... this car sits a lot but I drive it weekly or so. Wasn't so bad at all to do it...actually spent more time researching and thinking about it than doing it. My leak was real bad and she's stayed clean and dry. good luck!

The Chassis manual says "at the control arms" I have been putting them at front of frame behind wheel well. I want to do as the manual says but don't know at which point on the control arm..I ant to guess on the outer-most low point... Hmmmmm Any drawing or specific as to where on the arm?

Thanks Dave!! smelly but no visible smoke....I will try your directions today...always a big help bud!!
