I am setting on a 60.000 mile 1966 170/6, I would give this lady that I pulled out of my 66 Valiant, send someone to northeast Arkansas and we can load it up.. Hope we hear back soon with some good news.
Ohhhhhh and to the few that suggested a V8... I will admit the sound of one is almost as appealing as a day at the lake with a pole however I'm an "original" parts girl.... as original as you can get. Theres something to be said about the magic that comes from something with mollys history and the amazing attribute that that era of car did for American family's.... just my silly opinion

You ever figure out what's wrong? Is this another drive by or what?
Read up a few posts. She checked in.
I haven't got a chance to look at anything... my weekend got away from me so hopefully it will be this weekend. Thanks for all your help and sorry if I don't check in enough...I work way to much. I'll join the fb Mopar trade page so if anyone sees me it's under Jessica Clementine. ... msg me on there if you want... it's a little easier for me
Ok still need help please..... losing hope and patience and about to cry
New plugs and wires
No cracks in oil pan or anywhere I can see
Only one oil filter seal thingy
Still had oil in car and it had no metal in it
Still won't turn over.... fly wheel won't crank. So assuming the engine is locked? ????....
Hope you get it to the bottom of it, going into the third week of no diagnosis.
Have a man friend put a socket and breaker bar on the crank bolt at the front and attempt to turn the engine by hand. Turn it clockwise. If it turns, that's good. If not, that's bad.Something probably broke internally. It could have dropped a valve and jammed it up.I'd be interested to see if the plug with the wire off has the electrode smashed flat.
There are plenty of used, running Slant sixes floating around FABO, but somewhere there could be an issue putting a later engine in front of an early trans. I sure as hell would not invest money in a rebuilt longblock slant engine.
A lot of those things run good for a good long time, but when they wear out they usually get things over with quickly by slinging a rod out the side. When I hear Slant six and bang in the same sentence I prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
Don't give up though. There's a lot of good people here and one of these big strowghh menn will help you out
Secondly, it won't work with either sex, since slant sixes have no crankshaft bolt.

First, why a "man friend"? A woman is equally able to use a socket and ratchet.

LOL......
she might be able to turn it over with the fan belt if she takes all 6 spark plugs out.
