Thanks again guys. I truly appreciate all your input and advice. :)
Are you guys still friends? Haha, just kidding.
I do remember working on cars of that vintage. I've changed a few timing chains too, and always wondered why they would sell a car with plastic lined gears? I know it was for noise, but really?
About that rear seal on the transmission, if a tranny leaked, I always hoped it was only the rear seal as that was only a ten minute job after the drive line was removed. My biggest problem now days is I have to realize I ain't as young as I used to be. All the work on cars I mentioned was done in the early seventies and all through the eighties.
By the way, my friend waved me off. He said there were just too many little things about it that worried him.
