Hi Pat!,

Thnx for that addition!, The word that stuck in my head when I saw your
post was DUH!!  Can't believe I forgot that'n!

I would THINK that after this many years of dinkin with cars, that
overheatin would be the FIRST thing to check!!!

And those overheatin heads could be due to blown head gasket as well,
ey?

Good Luck with the t-bird Bri!  I have an 83 bird 5.0 myself, swapped
out the tbi for what most of ya'll call the "fuel leak" known as the
Holley...

Car has about 150K miles on it now, and DIRELY needs a rebearing job!!

Sounds GROSE and am not drivin it due to this noise!

The overdrive sure is nice though!!

LATER!

Todd....!!
