Re: [FWDLK] When things don't pan out



Performance Automotive Warehouse (PAW) sometimes parts for older cars. I
have seen intakes and engine kits in the past. I  have a new catalog at home
and will look through it this evening and get back to you.

Thanks for the many suggestions for dealing with my oil pan, most of which
were along the lines of welding a patch...

Alas, I'm afraid the pan is actually *rusted*, not a good candidate for
welding.  It does not bode well for the condition of the motor, but I'm not
surprised, given the amount of sludge I cleaned from the heads.
Condensation (and consequent sludge buildup) is common, I hear, for motors
that are often run for short durations.

Still, the motor runs strong. It's the leak that's bugging me! 8^)

So I'm looking for a new pan.  Spent quite a bit of time looking for one,
but I've not found one yet... Plenty of pans for 318 "LA" blocks, but none
that I can find for the older, "A" block.  (The sump is more central on my
pan.)

Does anyone have a part number?  An interchangeable part?  I'd like to get
new or NOS, but I guess I'll settle for used in good condition...

        adTHANKSvance,
        Dan
