I did a shit load of work on Ken's green FC, repaired the K Frame, fitted the front crossmember and rear modified &*#@ 9" has Commodore brakes on it at the back, fitted the engine and steering, windows and other bits and pieces, Keith painted it.
Think it has a TH350
Was Ken's first car

I'm guessing it has a remote booster on it? Seems to be lots of space where the mastervac booster would normally be fitted.

My bad. I looked at the header photos, but didn't check the first photo (which shows the engine bay).

I'm probably twitchy, because that's the area that my wagon has the coolant leak in. Going to need my pixie fingers to get in amongst the booster, steering column and other assorted crap in that corner. Painful to get in there and see, so did some boroscope and mirror work with Number One Son while I was home. Fairly confident that it is a leak from between the head and block at the drivers rear corner (above the starter). Small chance that it is coming from an adjacent head stud (sealant has failed and it is wicking up the stud). Plan of attack when I get home is to nip all the studs up to 70ftlb and see if that cures it. Have a better look with the rocker cover off, and see if it is wicking up a stud. If those two don't work, head off and a new gasket. Checked with the builder, and thankfully the Dart heads don't have fancy gaskets, just standard Felpro blue.

Cheers,
