On a beautiful sunny day in June we were on our way to a car show when I heard a couple of really loud bangs under the hood ❓ I pulled over and so did Matthew who was following in the convertible and our friends with their 55 Oldsmobile. When we opened the hood we saw cooling fluid coming at the intake manifold. We called AAA and waited for a while and when he arrived he couldn’t really find anything wrong with the engine but it was running a little rough. He told us to drive it home and he would follow us for the first 20 miles. The car ran but not as strong as I was used to but we made it home. We already had plans for a rebuild this winter as it was smoking and using a lot of oil and we decided to move our plans forward a few months. ![20160625_120630.jpg](https://59plymouth.net/uploads/default/original/2X/b/b5dd62c9fa802cb7bd682fbfb46358e2021a8f19.jpeg) --- _[View the full topic](https://59plymouth.net/t/rebuilding-the-318/2830)._
