Wake up a 1968 318...

Sounds good.

Unfortunately I now have some more issues to deal with because I started leaking coolant from the back of the motor. I am pretty sure that their is a bad freeze plug or plugs back there, but it's behind the transmission so I am not sure. The rest of the freeze plugs on the motor are all shiny new, so I am hoping that that is all that it is.

There are freeze plugs on the back of the heads, too. I'd look there first.
