Yeah I cant believe I drove 2 hours to bring this home but it was free and my father in law gave it to me, So I am the proud owner of a 1962 rust bucket, If I didnt take it it was going to the crusher. I power washed the whole thing because it had a thin layer of moss on the whole thing, next was to see why it wouldnt stay running, oh imagine that its out of gas and you know why? well there is a whole in the tank. Its now repaired and runs smooth, but the water pump is leaking. Im not sure if it is the original engine there is a tag on it from a shop that gives a date of 5/24/71 and bore of 040 but it doesnt tell me what size it is,im thinking maybe 283 or 327 can anyone tell by looking at it? I see that there is no oil filler cap on the valve covers instead its on the front of the manifold I dont know if that means anything? I also want to lower the front but I am not sure what bolt or nut to loosen on the torsion bars. Thanks
