Try this with a new car

Lift it by the bumper and push it along to the shop. I am going to follow Rusty s example with getting his old Merc on the road again. This 62 Classic has been in the family since new but it hasn t been licensed since 1982. I drove it a few miles ten years ago but since then it has been parked. The title is still good and I have new plates for it but it will need a bunch of TLC before it is roadable. The engine misses in one cylinder but it is more than just a bad plug. It might have broken rings in that one hole but I have to do a compression test to find the dead hole and a leak down test after I find it. If it needs a bore job I can get the parts yet but I hope I don t have to go that far. I also hope to get the power brakes, power steering and air conditioning working again so there is some wrenching ahead of me.

The engine is a cast iron 196 Cu 6 cylinder overhead valve made by American Motors. They did make an aluminum engine too believe it or not. When I pop the hood and look down into the engine bay there is almost nothing there, just this little engine with all kinds of room around it. It has three on the tree with the old style overdrive where it free wheels in under drive. When you are getting it up to speed you need to remember to let up on the throttle to let it kick into overdrive or you are howling along wondering with that 4:11 rear end why you can t get up to speed. LOL well that s enough talk, will let you guys know how it works out after awhile.
