Bad gas. New gas in can hose to fuel pump.. Runs

So need to get that out.of tank.

Looks like oil pan coming off. To deal with oil pump. Right side lifter .. Clacks when hot.

Nothing new.

Thought I would this german stuff a go.

Started engine. Engine warmed up.

Got the clack. Then. After a few minutes of bringing rpm up the clacking stopped.

My dads room a lot of time. Insulting and sealing 5he doors.

Made for a time consuming removal

Packard added to it with the rear doors.

To get window out your need to remove. Regulator and motor

The green tape is 60 plus years old. Was what Convair used . surplus on atlas.

Tough stuff. I would say its what duct tape became.

Good to hear that the LiquiMoly additive helped. I may have to give that a try if my engine is still noisy after valve adjustments.

Your interior looks like it's in decent shape. Should clean up nicely.
