Thanks - yes, it is a $900 car at this point, with many other items needing attention as well, so not deserving of the full treatment - for now. Add in that my car budget is pointed elsewhere and that I mainly want the car to drive and move under it's own power so that I can shuffle vehicles around until I can redo the body and interior. I plan to go after that journal with atf and emerycloth in the next few days so that I can re-assemble and reinstall. -Kenyon --- "Steve B." <imperial59@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > I have a 1962 that has an awful knocking sound. > It was run > > for less than 2 minutes on this condition by me, > but came to > > me this way.
