Dear All who may have read of my woes with leaks and wiring, etc issues:
My late model engine is now working, at least at idle. No observed leaks, temperature staying around 180, had some trouble setting idle but finally got a decent rpm with combination of distributor turning and idle adjustment screw.
The problem now (there's always something) is the packing gland has welded itself to the shaft and no amount of lubricant or wrenches can break it free! So I can't test under load.
I know it's not an engine question, but as I understand it, there is no way I can put it in gear to drive to the haul out where I will fix the gland. Is there?
