Old black Permatex is the culprit. Get it hot, clean it PERFECTLY then apply the assembly with some red ANAEROBIC sealing compound. ANY leaks will give a vacuum leak to the pump; NO BUENO.

GM went to alternators replacing generators in 1963. Some exspurt work on yours as maybe a "get home" deal??

Its not about from being across the hall; rather from being across the aisle. **** and I just had our posts removed on the Lithium battery thread for telling the truth about ***** being banned. ***** is a good guy and a wealth of information. PERIOD. Armchair vets seem to hold all the power...

If you elect to DIY, you can access the flywheel from the front side of the trans to lock it up for removal. Its it the owners manual about "Emergency Forward Clutch Engagement". If the trans has to come out, Id stronly recomend swapping the engine rear main seal. If that leaks it goes directly...
