Classic/Antique Car Repair: 1966 Convertible motor repair, vern, replacement parts


Question
Hi Vern,
My convertible motor just died.  I plan to replace the motor and lines myself.  I haven't taken it apart yet.  Are there certain steps I need to do in sequence and how do you bleed the lines. I am new at this but I think I can replace this myself.  I look forward to your suggestions and thank you.
Brian


Answer
Hi Brian:
I hope you have found a good source to purchase these replacement parts from. You need to drain the fluid and then remove the motor and replace the lines. Bleeding is quite simple. Once you have the new motor in please and you are ready to bleed the cylinders, get back to me. Keep in mind, depending on the unit you install will determine the type of fluid you use. follow the manufacturer recommendation for fluids. There are three type that can be used.
