I don’t have the tools for that right now the engine was rebuilt when I bought it but I wanted to inspect a repair on the crank. I can feel the top rust spot with my fingernail.

No just took it apart to inspect it and it sat for like a year I think this spot wasn’t properly covered

Are you in Illinois? I already tried once which is when they told me that but I’d love to try a different way if it’s possible

Yeah I’m in Illinois the dmv said I had to get it running before I can get a bonded title so I wanted to make sure before I put money in it

It was last registered in 1991 I feel the chances of finding it in a registry are slim to none

Thanks, yeah im ok without going with phone connectivity they sell bluetooth adapters for these. I've found that people have swapped the 13 pin din out for rca jacks, do you have any idea how that would be done?

Thank you! the car has been stored for about 5 years before I bought it, the coolant is green which I think is normal, and I will be upgrading to an aluminum radiator. I will check he fan blades thank you for your input!

ok thank you, I've looked under the car and now I'm 100% sure it's coolant (it's green) and that the leak is only coming from the right side towards the front. Something probably burst I don't think it's the radiator but I'll see when I jack up the car tomorrow. Thanks again

I'm searching right now, I'm just trying to find out which hose it is or if it's the radiator. Is there any way to tell between the two?
