Larry, I took your advice on placing the crank towards the rear of the car. It ended up hitting the top of the firewall when you lower the engine. This almost turned out to be disasterous since I had my nicely painted cowl panel in place. Luckily I was lowering very slowly and checking for interferences. I ended up putting a little bit of a load on the cowl panel but thank God it didn't scratch or bend it up. I seriously got lucky. Mine has a rubber handle. If it was a steel one, I would be repainting!

The local store had two engine tilters and this was the heavier of the two. It has a heavy beam and the trolly runs on rollers. I was satisfied with it. I think it cost around $40 on sale. I can't find it in their online catalog. Mine is marked S-1131. > > Face the tilt crank towards the rear of the car... > > Larry> > --- On Sun, 8/31/08, S Sterchi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:> From: S Sterchi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> Subject: [FGF] Engine Load Leveler> To: "First Generation Firebird-L" <[email protected]>> Date: Sunday, August 31, 2008, 11:13 PM> > First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List> .........................................................................> > I'm looking into getting one of these for my cherry picker.
