Dan,
I'll be at the BADROC run in the morning. But... give me a chance to dig
through some boxes, and I'll lend you one from my '68 engine. Just don't do
what my neighbor did with his sixties Mustang that he fired up after
sitting for 20 years. He forgot there was no oil filter on it and ended up
with oil all over the place! I'll call you Sunday at 3.
You don't need three people to install an engine, if you use an engine
hoist! ;>
Fred
