On the prior adventure, forgot to mention. After I got the car driveable
again, I drove around the block. I noticed the (stock) oil pressure gage
was sitting about where it sits when the car is hot, even though the oil
was certainly close to cold. I checked the oil, and the level was at least
half a quart higher than where it was last time I checked. Also, it
smelled like gasoline. Could there be a connection between this and the
stuck carburetor float?
Well, I had to toss 4.5 quarts of expensive Mobil 1. The Texas heat would
eventually boil the gas out of the oil, but I had probably 20% gasoline in
there!
