That sounds common of a high mileage engine. I'd take it a bit
easier if you want it to last a while.

Subject: IML: one more thing!
On the prior adventure, forgot to mention. After I got
the car driveable
again, I drove around the block. I noticed the
(stock) oil pressure gage
was sitting about where it sits when the car is
hot, even though the oil
was certainly close to cold. I checked the
oil, and the level was at least
half a quart higher than where it was last
time I checked. Also, it
smelled like gasoline. Could there be
a connection between this and the
stuck carburetor float?
Well, I
had to toss 4.5 quarts of expensive Mobil 1. The Texas heat would
eventually boil the gas out of the oil, but I had probably 20% gasoline in
there!
