Seems this tool was designed for in car oil pan changes. While it was said that it wasn't the best tool for the job it looked like just the tool to help me "not need to remove my oil pan"
I was working with replacing motor mounts and installing headers in a 65 and was starting to dent the oil pan a little and figured there had to be a better way to jack up the engine while taking the headers in and out. This tool is it. Bolt it to the timing cover, jack up the engine and then support the raised engine.
I have the same tool. My old boss showed it to me (used to be a line tech at Pontiac 50 years ago) and said if I guessed what it was I could have it. When I told him, he handed it over. I still remove the engine and put it on an engine stand to replace the rear main seal, though. Just way easier and cleaner. For header install, yeah, it would certainly work. One thing I learned when installing headers was to get the car on a lift or high jackstands so I could tilt the headers enough to slide them in without 'bottoming out' on the ground!
You've got the whole kit. That is too cool. Have you had the need to use any of the other bits?
I've got the car up pretty high so that did help. Drivers side slid in without jacking up the engine which helped every time I needed to use a big hammer and test the fit. Wish the roundport manifolds fit the 65 frame
Hi all...Looking for Quadrajet Carb for a 70-455HO. Old carb is shot (it’s been rebuilt by prior owner and is not salvageable) and number tag is missing so not sure of the actual model number. Looking to buy or recommendation where to buy A replacement. Thanks
Y'all have been very helpful in so many ways and I thank you for that help. I'm asking a novice question that must have been asked before but I can't find it in my searches. Why did the early GTO valve covers have a peak on one end? I want to make this stroker 467 look original at first...
The starter motor off My 70 Canadian Judge RAIII is Stamped McKinnon-Delco #1107716 8M29 Made in Canada. Can anyne explain this date coding? I read that McKinnon Industries Limited became a part of General Motors of Canada in 1969. Some people think it is original, does anyne know for sure?
I'm cleaning up the engine compartment of my 1965 GTO. I'm trying to keep whatever is original and clean up all the stuff that has been added over the years. There are two plastic snap clips that have been there at least since I bought the car in 1987. They look like they are to hold wires or...
