I finished swapping in new A-arms and steering components with disc brakes on my '67 Elky.

Spent some time working on freeing up the 350 out of my Malibu. Basically squirted some ATF in the spark plug holes, exhaust ports, and dumped a little in the intake. Also dumped some used oil down in the intake as well. (Heard it works well)
I am seriously going to see if I can free it up, then do some small repairs and get it running. If I am successful, I might restore the frame and firewall - then try to get it roadworthy. Rust, dents, and all. Why not?

I have a odd lull in work right now. I reckon i go mess with the passenger side window felts. And then mess with the trunk weatherstripping today if nothing else pops up.

Was outside "weatherproofing" the property in preparation for the coming storm, thought - "Maybe I'll see if that engine will free up." I grabbed a four foot long pry bar, and it didn't even budge.
Any suggestions? Bing searches say marvel mystery oil or pb blaster. I may buy a quart of whichever one I can find and pour it in. I'm not ready to give up yet.

I'd try also changing the oil & filter...pull the distributor and prime the oil pump for a while.

Put the rubber A Arm dust shields on. Then got a bucket to sit on and cleaned the frame core support basically dog house area of splatter from the buffing. In preparation of installing the grill parts and chrome. Because once that is done i wont ever be able to get to that stuff again.

On the Sprint...
Finally got around to swapping out the crappy organic disc pads that were supplied with the Wilwood conversion kit to a set of Wagner Thermo Quiet ceramic pads. No more brake dust!! Also, installed a pair of Metro door weatherstripping. Hopefully no more wind noise at highway speeds. Drove the GMC to a local cruise last night...running good. Now that the weather has cooled off some, I'm going to rebuild it's factory A/C system.
