I should really change this thread to be more encompassing if all my random automotive pursuits. Started the Galaxie today after a long winter sleep. Fired right up. Leaking oil from the rear axle seal though. Poo

In reply to AngryCorvair, wawazat thank you both for your kind words. Getting close to dialed. 
 

turns out I had End play on the axle set wrong. One shim and a axle seal and it's back home already

Got it all sealed up with a epoxy primer. What a miserable project. I feel like I got hit by a bus this morning after shooting this whole thing. Took just over 2 gallons of material.

What's the pushrod from Brent?   Ford obviously based on distributor location but not Norma based on Eddy carb and valvetrain.

In reply to wawazat :

It's from my 79 f100 with the 400m. I picked it up from a family member that isn't doing health wise. He wanted me to come out and get it going after sitting for 10 plus years. I opted to pay him and just bring it to the shop so I can work on it on my time. That was a badddd decision.

In reply to Norma66-Brent :

TWO gallons of epoxy covers a lot of surface area. I know its not your business model, but would powder coating the chassis not have been a better path?
