This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    How did it happen. From sitting?. If so, the first thing I would do is take the spark plug's out and squirt some penetrating oil down in there and let it sit for a couple of day's.

    Is it a stick by chance. I had a truck do that to me one time. After I did the p/oil trick, I hooked a chain to it, towed it down the road and popped the clutch. Worked like a charm, and ran fine.

    I am in no way recomending you do that. It could cause serious damage. But, if your willing to take the risk,,,,,,,,,

    Maybe someone else will chime in with a better answer. Cal

    Well from what Ive been told the car ran out of oil. But when I got it the guy said it just had an oil change. I was ony the freeway when the oil and temp light came on and it was jsut downhill from there.

    :error: 455 started in 1970. check and see what you really have there. A '65 425 nailhead might say something like "Wildcat 445" on the air cleaner as they used to put the torque rating on a sticker there.
