Well when I towed it home, AAA wouldn't let me take it directly to the storage place so I had to bring it to a garage. In a pinch, I had the tow truck take it to STS in Hillsborough and have them look it over.

In a word - Damnit!

The 305 TBI is seized. Bearings are fused to the crank. So I'm actually forced to do the 350 TPI swap I wanted. Good news is I'll get the engine I want, bad news is I cant drive it now until the swap takes place which will be a few months from now. So the beastie just sleeps in the storage place until I can find the 350 and TPI setup, plus get the space to work on it.

This is one job I want to work on personally, but will need help with. When I get closer to actually pulling the 305, I'll at least need help yanking the thing out, plus getting tips on disconnecting everything. Haynes can help only so much.
