Unless the original owner saved the window sticker and passed it along with the car, you are SOL. Body number means next to nothing. Beginning with the '67 model we can hope to find the 'build sheet' stuck to the top of the fuel tank.

Looks really, really grim. Not for the feint of heart. :ohnoes JM.02 Vin plate is spot welded to the steering column under the hood. (I think.) Start at 4K. (So you can part it out if you have to.)

I made one of those when I changed the fuel pump on mom's '59 wagon.:upthumbs Not really very hard to do. You just bolt up the new pump without lifting the unseen pushrod that had fallen down. It only ran for a few moments. Dad fixed it when he got home from work. Give me a break, I was...

That is horse hockey! Moly rings usually seat in the first 15 min. of run time. If the valve stem seals were totally absent it wouldn't use that much oil.

Yup, That tube goes thru the manifold and is there to provide hot, clean air to the choke coil. It is sucking sooty exhaust gasses at present.

Cannot help you with the smoke problem ;shrug but the park mechanism needs the wiper blade/windshield drag to park. (Armature inertia carries it past the "dead" spot.)

Man, that's way past just poor ethics.:(

;LOL;LOL Looks like someone went go to great lengths to avoid a state issued vin and they got bit.:chuckle

If I remember right, you can replace just the upper bearing without column removal. You will have to remove the wheel/hub and turnsignal sw. etc. Bearing is about $22 at Volunteer Vet Parts. Part number ST28.

brrrdman: In reply to your email question. The motor/reducer is easily removed. Prop the hood open (There is absolutely no need to remove it!). Borrow your wife's hand mirror so you can see what you are doing. Disconnect the power leads. Remove the motor brace and pull the clip. Using the hand...
