I got bored with the thought of almost being able to drive it after dropping in the engine, so I decided to make gasoline piss out of the rear of the car. This is fun.

I think it's called old age like all of us. I have leakage sometime too. Wow. That's way off topic again. Let's say his fuel hose is past it's life cycle.Did you cut a line? Are you replacing them or something?

My car leaks from dozens of places, but today it decided to let out almost a steady stream of gas from the fuel vent line just outside of the tank. Not something I could just let slide. Of course I had to drop the tank, and of course I chose to replace all of the lines while I was there. I’m doing my best not to light this thing on fire.My car leaks too, not from fuel line at least... Im going to fix the leaks one day...
I’m no expert, but I’d guess they were the original lines judging by how brittle the rubber was and the clamps used.I think it's called old age like all of us. I have leakage sometime too. Wow. That's way off topic again. Let's say his fuel hose is past it's life cycle.

In my experience, the best way to find a small leak is to fix a big one.My car leaks from dozens of places, but today it decided to let out almost a steady stream of gas from the fuel vent line just outside of the tank.

I’m retiring from my career at the ripe old age of 45 and he was gracious enough to offer me a part time job at his shop and teach me a new trade.
Awesome! It is a luxury most do not have, work hard, accomplish it, and be thankful you are able to!I know you have a black car and yours looks great as well... Mine... needs so love...
Awesome! My goal is to retire from hands on work in my career between 40-45 as well... thats as long as I graduate in May at least lol.
Well I got the trans out and the bell housing has all the reverse lockout stuff and i'm having issues getting it off. I haven't found the procedure for removal in my shop manual yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. So after removing the clutch, pressure plate and flywheel and getting a good look at the underside of the engine there is some long term evidence of leaking oil from the pan gasket and most likely the rear main seal. Since the car is laid up for the winter and I want to fix it right looks like I'll be dropping the pan and replacing the gasket and seal. As far as the clutch I ended up going with the McCleod Street Pro.Getting the car ready for tranny work. My A833 works great but leaks so I am taking it out and hopefully finding someone to rebuild it and stop it from leaking. While its out a new clutch, pressure plate, and throwout bearing after having the flywheel resurfaced. Any recommendations on clutch and Pressure Plate?
That, sir, is awesomeGot my 2 carports installed and then moved a 70 Roadrunner and my 71 Charger into them.

I hope to have those very same problems!I needed those carports because both of my 40x60 shops are full. One has 7 cars in it and the other has 2 (my working shop). Good problems to have I guess.
