Well so much for warm and fuzzy feelings. After three weeks of no work the mechanic calls me and admits to cold feet about working on the car. He is talking about having to completely yanking the engine out to put in the transmission cooling lines. Everyone agrees that I should find another mechanic. I do and the car is now there and work is progressing. In doing some work he finds that the carbs are full of water(GREAT). I sure do hope no water got into the block. we checked the oil and all seems to be o.k. I printed some of the diagrams some of you guys provided, so he should be able to work with those. Hell I am only 72 so I should have a life expectancy long enough to see the project complete.
