Re: Underhood rehabilitation
Check the bushings in the upper and lower control arms

Re: Underhood rehabilitation
Visually, the bushings look good. I may just have to pop them off and see what is going on. This is going to be a "driving restoration", so I'll be taking it one vehicle system or component at a time in order to avoid taking the car completely off the road.

Re: Underhood rehabilitation
Might be a good idea for you to get under the rear end and have somebody else rock the rear to see if you can localize the noise before pulling off control arms if the bushings look ok to you. Could just be a shock or a loose bolt on the sway bar.

Re: Underhood rehabilitation
Or even a trunk bumper or seal that could use a bit of lube.

Re: Underhood rehabilitation
Did you do anything with the intake manifold and valve covers? I want to repaint mine to stock color but don't know what to order. Was looking at Eastwood's Aluma blast which they have a video with close-ups. Or their Silver CAD. Anyone know what it is?

Re: Underhood rehabilitation
The valve covers were pretty grungy:
The covers were hosed down with brake cleaner and then scrubbed in hot soapy water. I then used a brass wire wheel and a very fine wire cup in my die grinders to clean them back up. I elected not to polish the covers, leaving them with a dull gray natural finish: |
