Kevin & Dave, thanks for your info. I'm football player sized so I'm fresh out of thin fingers...but getting the pan off w/o removing the engine is great news.
As far as the care of the car, it has 66k miles, and is in really good shape. It came with various paperwork, receipts and memorabilia from the past. So, the several PO's have likely been good to it. It supposedly has a new head gasket, does look like it has a new H20 pump and does run like the proverbial Singer sewing machine, lights off w/ the touch of the key etc. There is no other mention or info of major powertrain work however.
Another question I have is, were these car equipped with a floor starter? Mine has a 2 postion (plus accessory) ignition switch, merely off, and ignition, and a momentary pushbutton mounted under the dash for the starter-This button starter has obviously been added later as it was wired by breaking into one of the existing looms. thanks, gary
