I have a couple of things that need attention on my 1967 Newport, and if I'm being honest, I'm not sure I have the confidence to tackle on my own. It's a 383 2bbl, power steering, no A/C.
Looking to see if anyone here knows of any mechanics in Mass that are familiar with these old Mopars.
Issue 1: Core plug behind motor mount is leaking coolant. It's not a major leak at this time, but I have a puddle underneath after each ride that is a little smaller than a hockey puck. I know this entails unbolting and lifting the motor up in order to replace. Maybe this seems more intimidating than it really is, but I'm not sure I have the tools, or confidence to tackle on my own.
Issue 2: Steering gear is leaking at the top seal. I thought I read something about needing a special tool for this etc...?
Not sure what I would be looking at cost wise, but want to start calling around. Any input would be appreciated.
