50 Years ago today
I took delivery of "Ole Blue" at Courtesy Dodge in Bloominton, Illinois.
I was hoping to go out for a ride today but that is not going to happen.
LONG Story Short a couple of years ago I had a slight vibration develop in the engine and the more it was driven the worse it got.
So I have not been driving the car.
I decided to finally find the vibration.
So here is what "Ole Blue looks like today on the 50th anniversary of bringing the car home.
And here is what I found, 8 rod bearings gone. Numbers 1 and 2 were the cause of the vibration for the most part.
This is a 292 cu.in. 273.
I don't have the time or the $$$ to rebuild it right now. Maybe in the future
I still have my original short block, so I am going to be putting it back in the car over the next few days.
