Re: Mystery leak
With a mirror and a good light, you should be able to see back there.

Re: Starving for gas at highway speed

Re: Battery Move
I always use the ground cable for the disconnect. My reasoning is similar to removing the battery cables with no disconnect. You remove the ground first so if your wrench slips while removing the hot...

B Engine with Babbitt bearings running a 6.0 head in a car I have done a lot of touring in. No problems at all except watch the spark advance.

Re: Getting 31 Coupe doors to stay closed !!
May be the strikers are worn out and the latch is just barely catching it. The Latch "tongue" could also be badly worn.
Also, the gap between the door and the door striker post may be too wide...

If I were you, I would remove that fan ASAP.
What you have is a very poor replacement 4 blade fan. It has no strength in the blades close to the hub and over time, and in some cases not...
