I'm thinking 1965 or 1966. :dunno Pulled my 64 Conv. in front of my house. Left it running. I'm only going in, for a RC Cola. :clap Couldn't have been more than 2 minutes. Came out, jumped in the car, got a weird smell, grabbed the chrome shifter and :wtfKendall GT-1, on everything.:tantrum Was pissing out of the plastic tubing, at the fitting.:gaahMy 3 Stewart Warner gauges, were mounted on the dash, in the usual place, directly over the 4 speed console. Oil was everywhere. Gas pedal, Heaterbox, Carpet.The top of the console, had so much oil on it, you couldn't see the engine turned aluminum. That ruined my day. Took a very long time, to clean up, and erase the memory of my stupidity.:doh

Car needed a detailing before the tube broke, only difference was that afterward, it needed a deep cleaning. I didn't think you could ever get oil out of carpet, unless you sent it to the dry cleaner...
