Did a little work on the motor from Ethan. Took the tins off and blasted them and repainted them. This thig had a terrible leak from the oil cooler seals. They were rock hard and must have been originals. Spent a good four hours cleaning and scrapping old caked on oil. I also started in on the wiring.

Brian i figured it was those seals. I know the car set up for five or six years when I bought it. It didnt leak till after it had run a few times so i figured the seals where shot due to sitting for so long. Awesome work on cleaning that old motor up! I talked to Brad and he said if you need a dizzy before the classic to give him a ring he has a few just sitting around. He said he would hook you up if need be (great guy).
