<VV> Flexplate on PG

[cfm]

Yesterday afternoon I took the forward engine shroud off and gained access to the "hole" in the bell housing topside, and a low and behold! Sure as stuff, there was the first of three bolts, completely loose. I turned the balancer by hand with a wrench and rotated to the next one, bingo!, another one loose, and turning to the third one, not as bad but loose as all heck.
So I snugly tightened them all down, and presto the noise is gone, the clattering is gone now. Now it just doesn't want to start. LOL. So I am troubleshooting, yet another problem. (see my next posting about electronic fuel pumps)
Thank you again everyone (again) for all the tidbits and advice. I am doing all that I can to get this 69 convertible on the road again. This "youngin" is enjoying every minute of this!
