Ok so there's some consensus that I have a blown head gasket. V8Capri - what is this about a dead spark plug - how does it cause the gasket to fail? Panther - If I loosen a water hose from the bottom of the car and drain it there and then turn the engine over a few times - redrain - is that good enough or is there a special procedure? Can I really do this with the engine in the car? Does the carb and intake have to be removed? Obviously I've never tackled a job like this - I'm going to need to collect some information to figure out how to do it. Thanks for your replies guys.
