1979 3.3 v6 ElCo
i bought this thing 2 months ago from a junkyard, had been sitting for 2 years.
flywheel bolts were loose and made substantial noise, finally broke so i had that fixed about a week ago.
within that week and now i changed my oil, replacing one quart with marvel mystery oil(accidently put in a lil bit too much oil though)
also replaced some vacuum lines.
1. today i started her up, or at least tried, and she turned over then just stopped ! jumped the battery, and it sounds like all of my rockers are hitting, both sides of my engine are making an rustling leaves/knocking noise.
2. now, and before the engine knocked like this, the engine wouldnt idle right, would stall while in drive and wasnt very consistant most of the time, after i got the engine hot it was OK but not 100%.
3. engine always runs hot,i can feel it in the cab and when i get out from a drive i can smell how how it is.
please help diagnose all 3 of these things, i'm very short on money and i need my elco as much as i love it, thanks guys.
