Know what you mean Dennis - I mentioned the other day that my 69 was
pumping oil all over the place - since the wifes jeep was at my friendly
local mechanics for what turned out to be a fuel pump ($268-ouch!) when i
went to pick it up I took the 69 over and left it for a bit of diagnosis
on a lift (as opposed to my crawling around on the floor of my garage
with a flashlight)
Turned out to be the oil pressure guage line connection and as luck would
have it, the spare engine i have in the machanics basement furnished the
part- my price for the labour, and an oil change was to pick up an oil
seal from a Saab dealer near my office on the way home- $4.60
A round of applause to all who do this for a living and keep us bodgers
on the straight and narrow!
