[QUOTE="FISHTAIL, post: 13293712, member: 19212"] New engine is in and running. Got lucky, new engine runs great, or seems to at any rate. No smoke, no noises. Thanks Ray for the help all day Saturday, and Jason for the use of the hoist. Now I have a bunch of work to do...I have to get a bolt out of the speed sensor bracket on the trans (they snapped it off), a new speed sensor, O2 sensors, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, etc. The guy who owned this thing before me shouldn't be allowed to work on a car. He installed the speed sensor bracket upside down, then tightened the bolt so much he snapped it off. He then proceeded to hold the sensor in with a couple of twisted coat hangers, and he pushed the sensor in so far that he broke it in half, and stripped the gear on it. Thankfully, the tailshaft gear is intact. The driveshaft bolts were all finger tight, and two of them were half way out. Trans mount bolts were finger tight. Shifter bolts were stripped. If this guy touched it on the car, it was screwed up. I know everyone has to learn at some point...but if you are learning, do yourself a favor and buy the Chilton manual, then read it. *sigh*.
