Thanks, I will probably try this solution. In my previous travels in the stuck engine world I have done that. It did not help and the engine needed to be torn down and reworked to get it back in running order. I did have a 55 Crown that I got the engine unstuck and it burned a quart of oil every 200 miles! It now is in a friends Crown Vic after he did a complete rebuild.
I will be as gentle as possible.
Wonderful positive helpful comments from all I do appreciate the response. Now if the wife would appreciate it as much we would be golden!
Just some other random shots if duplicates sorry:
I am going to need input and I will ask some newbee questions. Like this one:
What is the small selector lever on the left side of the shift lever just under the knob? It has a rod connected going down the left side of the shift lever. Is this a two speed range selector or something??
Regards,
Chris
