<x-charset iso-8859-1>I bought a '71 fasty last Feb and with your help I removed the FI and went with a carburetor. I then worked out a few bugs (excuse the pun) and it ran nicely. After a month or two of driving the cooling fan became really noisy. It rattled badly so I got a used one and replaced it. The oil groovs in the shaft were not as deep but were there so I used it. after a mile or three of driving the car died It seemed to over heat. I thought it was a bad fan becayse some of the blades seemed tweeked. I bought another fan and put it on. this one was used also and the oil groovs were shallow and slightly rusted so I cleaned them with a wire brush. To make a long story end the car died again now I cannot turn the crankshaft with a wrench. I have a funny feeling that I burned a main bearing. Now I need to decide if I want to tear the whole thing apart or just cut my losses. I just wanted an inexpencive car to drive to work. It is getting toooooo expensive but if one last fix will work for a while It might be worth it. ---------------------------------------------------- Sign Up for NetZero Platinum Today Only $9.95 per month! http://my.netzero.net/s/signup?r=platinum&refcd=PT97 </x-charset>
