1965 small block A904 leak
Here you can clearly see why you can't use the later style gasket on an early A904. There was absolutely nothing stopping the fluid coming out of this hole. I had told the guy numerous times that it was an early, cable shifted A904 and that they are different from the later ones. He even claimed he had a '64 Valiant. I'm also pretty sure he re-used the filter that already has some specs of metal in it after driving the car less than 100 miles after the rebuild.
I like to support small and independent businesses, but in this case it was clearly a mistake.
