[AT] Older Tractor Question

[Richard Fink Sr]

Greg not tractor related but i had a problem like your father an older 
Plymouth after all the nothing is wrong my brother inlaw an i decided we 
had changed all that would cause problem. This was back in 60s so we 
talked it over and tried the impel route and quickest. Replaced head 
gasket about 2 hour job on old flat head , problem solved.
