Got a couple of books in the post today, one, a Ford shop manual for 1952/1953/1954 passenger cars, the other a book on the Y-block engine. Yesterday I got a new crankcase breather screen (with new 'O' ring). The 'O' ring was the part I really needed, the old one had totally perished and so, was leaking oil. Haven't put the new one on but that should take care of that leak, just the one from the filter to deal with now. I've already changed the oil filter and all the associated seals, I was hoping that would fix it but apparently not. I did run the car briefly tonight and I didn't notice any oil leaking but I didn't look all that closely either.
Put in a full shift tonight on clean up underneath the car. Scraping 54 years worth of gunk off all the suspension components. I took a couple of pictures of the driver's side (which I've started on) and the passenger's side (which I haven't). I think I'll end up getting a new front end kit, all the bushings will need to be replaced at a bare minimum.
Also assembled the front grille with the new turn signal housing.
More later, I'm tired!
