Yeah, like I was telling Hutch, I think the totality of freakin nonsense I have discovered on this car has gotten me to the boiling point.
There was a reason I ordered this in late '86, put it in a garage, and left it except for fair weather driving. I intended to put a real motor in it eventually and at least dreamed of making the ole girl turn and stop too.
When I get done I may post the entire list. It is quite LONG and most of it was intentional irresponsible nonsense.
Hell clear back before switching to the big block, I started to tear down the 307 and there was a M8 nut in the lifter bay. Since there wasn't anything M8 on the motor, you know that was someone just being an irresponsible *ss . . . here, I'll put in the secret go fast ingredient!
Whether it is Bondo or glue, there is no functional reason for this to even be on the floor pan other than someone again just being an *ss.
