That seems to be the answer from those replying. I freed up an engine in a
Pinto once, so I thought I would waste a little time and try it here as well.
I will report back when I try it, and what the results were. Anyways, the car
is not a keeper, just an old beater to get around town, or to loan to family
members, or perhaps even to donate to some of the new nieces/nephews just
learning to drive.
My own son turns 18 in February, perhaps he might even want it for a first
car. That is, if I can get it unstuck. Wish me luck anyways.
                                   o      
              All the best,     \ _\/^\ _

There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope.
