My Slant 6 pan was always dripping ever so slightly when it had a copper crush washer on. The last time I had it out I put on a softish rubber washer that was maybe 1/8" thick and squashable. That seemed to do the trick. I just found it in my hardware box.

The Thunderbirds was a fantastic show. The sets, equipment, and puppets were wonderful. It's on TV every Sunday morning at 6am ET on MeTV.

I'm interested too. I have my dwell meter still from the 70s but don't have a timing light.

Would you have any pictures or descriptions of what you used? I see the Auveco web site. Thanks for the lead. I could go talk to a few body shops.

I'm looking to remove and clean up the top stainless trim piece on the back of my 66 Coronet 440 deck lid. It appears to be held on by two studs and nuts (at either end which you can see and handle easily) plus five plastic push pins of some kind. I can see a small white plastic push pin...

I believe it's 3/8" NPT. I had to change my switch and now I'm going to add a gauge and keep the switch.

I like the stink in the garage! Makes me feel young again!

I left the bar in without the spring. Honestly, how much can it do anyway? It just sits there on the end of bar with no compression on it. It seems to me there is as much chance to rattle with the spring as without. I know it's heresy but just asking questions.

When I rebuilt my rear brakes last winter the spring on the left side broke and I didn't have a replacement. I thought I would just leave it out and see what happens. It seems fine to me. I have not noticed any noise or any rattles from the spring being missing. Maybe next time I have it...

That was interesting...................I think I'll take one for my 66 Coronet! Maybe I could just swap my /6 for one of these?!?!

Can you repair a broken or stuck odometer on that cluster?. That's my problem along with non-running clock. Mine is 66 Coronet

I think the differences are highly overblown. But it's kind of a "religious" debate usually.

I just replaced my front shocks on my 66 Coronet with Monroe Gasmatics #32022 if that helps any.

Make sense. I had asked earlier in the thread if the gasket needs to be of a particular material. So regular fiber type gasket material should work. I may try the O-ring option too just to see. Thank you.

Thanks very much for posting. I will take note of that and may pick one up to have on hand. How much was it?

I will. So far I have cut down the seeping quite a bit by lightly cleaning the MC surface, cleaning and reversing the gasket, and tightening the cap a bit more than I had. Still some seeping.

Thanks for the advice. I will try to find a suitable o-ring. Tractor Supply has some odd farm hardware.

Now, at least I think the bottom plug is OK. It's coming from the cover. I'll look for a proper sized o-ring! I did tighten it more than I'm comfortable with so I will back that off a bit. Thanks.

That's an excellent idea. The top surface is "not bad" but certainly not spotless. I did clean as much as I could, flattened the gasket and flipped it over. Then I tightened the cover more than I usually do. Still seeping from top edge but much slower than before. Until I'm ready to take...

I might eventually just replace the whole MC but really this one does not look that bad as you can see from the cover off pic below. Heck I could just rebuild it if I find that the bore is good.
