Hey Griff in Fairbanks, Thanks for the reply.
I will check out the spedometer and components most likely this weekend if I have time. I Have the haines manuel, but have little mechnical know-how so I will try and get one of my unlces to help out with some of the more complex stuff so I dont screw it up. I did an oil change, replaced the air filter, greased everything and serviced the hubs before my first road trip last fall, which is when I noticed the spedometer problem, its been sitting in storage all winter. I will put up pictures soon, I got a new phone so I dont have any pics available right now.
Thanks for the offer on the spedometer much appreciated, But I think I should be able to get one around my house. There is a classic car specialist part store not to far from me, who focuses on ford, chevy and mopar parts.
It's definitely engine oil, that is leaking, and I can see it drip out of the rear main seal after I get it going. The engine went through aproximately 5 litres of oil over 4000 miles on my last trip. I don't think I need an engine rebuild," yet", it runs great, and everyone I have shown has agreed.
Just a little nervous cause In ontario you have to pass a safety before you can register and insure it........
I didn't now about the 318-3 designation, I will have to take a look at it when I get it from storage. I hope it is! There is definitely Alot of valuable information in this thread, 617 pages of it! I'm super happy i stumbled upon this! Like I said I will post pictures of my girl soon :)! Getting really excited for summer.
Thank again for the friendly reply !
Regards
