I rebuilt the carbs and the engine runs very nicely. It idles down and has a wonderful throaty growl. I ran it a good while and let it warm up. Next day there is coolant on the floor which I can trace back to the blow hole on the water pump. Very irritating because it sat in my garage without leaking a drop for a year. Then I see the pool of oil coming from the bell-housing. It must be the rear seal. No surprise because all the seals on the front of the engine were rock hard and cracked. Then when I tried to shift into gear I find the clutch is stuck. I drove it a little and held the clutch but it wouldn't release. I guess I have to pull the transmission and unstick the clutch and to replace the rear main seal anyway. Still it is fun to have it moving under its own power again after all these years. Not really a question but any insight is appreciated. Have a nice day Steve
