Jeff,
I'm sure others more proficient at mechanicals will respond knowledgeably to
your questions but I have a question for you, when you get the time; what

Bob Hawkes

I bought a basket case 1970 Ambassador that I am trying to do a ground-up rebuild on. It's great :). I'm in the process of stripping it down so I can send off the frame and other bits for powdercoating, and am wondering if there is a preferred method for pulling the engine. 'nother question -- the PO decided to chop the factory wiring harness and rewire with lamp and extension cords...at least I'm guessing thats |

Last one (at least for now), it seems to be leaking a good amount of oil from around the clutch pushrod area. Is this a common problem for |
