I need to replace the rear main seal on my 59 J-bird as the first step to get her out of diapers :>). Power steering cylinder and valve are next. Here are my questions:
A search of old posts tells me to go with rubber rather than rope seals - agree?
Is fel-pro a good gasket or are there others I should look at?
This can be done with engine in car and I found some great information for the 352 on doing this. Is the 430 substantially different or do the 352 hints and instructions apply?
Has anyone done this on a 430 and have any hints for me?
I'll do this with a friend who has a auto shop with a lift. He's done old cars and has a sneaky pete that he has used before.....a long time ago.
As far as the power steering cylinder and valve go, is there a preferred source for rebuild kits?
Thanks, Vern
