Well, it seems the identificaation of my engine is cleared up. I'm
glad to know it is most likely the origina engine.
On another pleasnt note, while replcaing the leaking manifold gasket
I discovered that the fitting in the manifold coming from the air pump
had been butchered and stripped by the DPO. I was able to get the
brass bushing from TRF (great service, had it in 48 hours!! Hope this
is a sign of things to come.) abd after making some other plumbing to
replace the old garbage I have it running again. I can only say I am
pleasantly surpirsed. It must have been leaking real bad all the time
I have had the car as the silence now is deafening!! I had gotten used
to not being able to have a normal conversation and just assumed it was
supposed to be so loud. This going to make traveling a lot more fun.
Now, all I need are four new tires (something good this time) and an
inspection. :-)
