Thank you 51. You were one of the ones who made it possible!
Tomorrow I take the fuel tank in to be repaired and sealed.

A little while ago I walked in back or the car and saw rust and such that was blown out of the driver's side exhaust port. In back of the passenger side port there was corroded metal and a whole lot of little seed husks. I think some critters set up house keeping in the passenger side of the exhaust system.

Once I get a new water pump the next question mark is the transmission. I'm sure it will need new seals but hopefully that's it. A rebuild on the carb probably wouldn't hurt either. Fortunately the manifold to exhaust pipe gasket that was loose snugged back up and she runs pretty quiet.

I can't wait to take it for a trip around the block!

Thanks again for everyone's help and support.
