We assembled the Motor stand tonight and I have been looking through A book called: "How to rebuild Pontiac V-8s" and the 1970 - 81 "Haynes repair Manual" is on hand as well, in addition, the 1967 "Pontiac service Manual" is readily available on disc.
I ordered a set of New Engine mounts to the frame side, the rubber looked beat. Tomorrow we will use the Crain Hoist to attach the Engine to the Motor stand, so we can begin disassembly procedures.
The power steering rebuild kit came in and this is the third Pump in 10 years or more, one from Advance and that was returned, another from advance and there are no more returns left according to their rules. Hopefully we can do a better job than they do wherever Advance gets their Pumps from.
Tomorrow afternoon, I will take photos, as I remove the guts from this 1967 428 ci HO Project, adequately called: "Mikes Reply".
P.S. Rebuilding a motor from the bottom up is an informative lesson in Mechanics 101 and should "not" be measured in post counts. The reader can learn from his reading experience, so when they rebuild their own Engine someday, they may find that the PY forum is the place to be, when the Truth is sought, as I am seeking it now. Without the ridicule, that makes it hard for everyone here.
