Dodged a bullet this weekend
Just about had a heart attack this weekend. After replaceing the dizzy rotor I got in and started the Stang and was greeted with what sounded like about 2 dozen ball bearings in the oil pan. After shutting down and composing myself, I started investigating the racket. Nothing looked out of the ordninary, with the exception that the #3 pulg wire had somehow come off the dizzy car. Put that back on and fired the beast up again. Ran better but still had that pesky little rattling and chrunching sound. Was about to ready to out pull what little hair I have left until the son said.....Hey thisfan sure is wobbly!! Turns out the water pump bearings arecompletely shot! Pulled the pump and got a new one on order, should be back in this next weekend. Whilewe were at it, went ahead and changed out the upper ball joints and loosened the idler arm a bit (WAY too tight), and tightened the steering box. Next week should see the installation of a Monte Carlo bar.
