Re: Debi's 1953 Patrician

I knew a guy in the Packard car club pull his rebuilt eng and trans out of a 1953 Clipper and I knew my transmission was leaking. So I thought it would be cheaper to buy his rebuilt transmission that it would have been to rebuild mine. So I put the new tranmission on my cleaned and painted engine and put everything back in the car.
When I first turned the engine over I saw water leaking. Then my nephew looked at it and said you might want to use clamps on the heater hose - easy fix.
Then I cranked it over and saw oil spewing out at the oil sending unit and I found the oil line from the block to the sending unit had a hole in it. I bought a new line, bent it and put it in and it's working.
I also had my mechanic put a new boot on my drive shaft so I could put that back in.
