I actually had something similiar with a 1972 Duster. I went to change the distributor cap and discovered that I could not get to it as the right side engine mount had become oil soaked and collapsed. I had to jack up the right side of the engine to get enough clearance to replace. By the way, it was a slant 6 - 198. Only the was not ANY noise at all. Great car - had 350k on it. --- john sadowski <jsadowski@xxxxxxx> wrote: > That sounds like it could be a bad engine mount.
