  1. can someone explain wy there is a extra oil pan under it

    is the engine for special use ?

    thanks

    jan

    It looks like an deep sump oil pan, designed to hold more oil. The engine could be from a military amphibious DUKW or CCKW 2.5 ton cargo truck.
  2. Remove the valve covers and install a set of rocker arm oil deflector clips, and start the engine and see that oil is coming though ALL the rocker arms. If oil is reaching the rockers, the valves may not be adjusted correctly. If not, the lifters could be defective. The valves can be adjusted while running, loosen the rocker nuts one at time until it just starts clattering, then slowly tighten until the clattering stops, then turn one full turn.

  3. This car in this story was not an antique, at the time, and it was an accident? Ridgefield Park, N.J. Thanksgiving day 1969, A cousin of mine had a 1959 Rambler, he was fond of this car. My parents invited him over for Thanksgiving dinner, he had no choice but to park it on the street. While they're eating they hear a loud crash, my cousin's car had been rear ended. The car was repaired requiring major work grafting on a quarter panel, trunk pan, etc. No problems, UNTIL Ridgefield Park Thanksgiving day 1970, same car parked on same street in front of same house, while they're eating they hear another loud crash, yep, you guessed his car was rear ended again. I don't know if it was the same driver.

  4. The 2G has a big connector with 3 wires coming out of it, instead of using a heavy cable bolted to a stud with a nut. I understand these wires can get hot, so hot that the alternator can even start a fire. The 110 amp ones I've seen have stud and nut I'm guessing for a cable, this alternator might be better and easier to install, but I just don't know much about it. From what I'm trying to remember, The 3G conversion involves running 2 of the wires together to the stud on the the 3G, then running a cable from the stud though a mega fuse to the battery and the starter solenoid, the other one is a stator wire that is connected to a connector and plugged into the 3G. I did this conversion on my '89 Lincoln, I'll look it again.

  5. If the filter is not in the carburetor(as in the '70's and '80's or late '60's?) or between the carburetor and the pump, this being a '65 take a look at the fuel pump, if there are screws on it, the filter could be in the pump. But I would also drop the tank and have it cleaned. When it ran out of gas it sucked the sediment from the bottom and into the fuel system. Disconnect the pump to tank line and carb to pump line and blow out with compressed air. Rebuild carburetor with a kit, cleaning all idle circuits with compressed air and carb cleaner. Depending on the pump's condition, it might be a good idea to get a new pump.
