    Stuck 320

    I have a 46 Roadmaster with the 320. The car had been sitting since 1981 and the motor is stuck. I have tried numerous methods to free the motor, with all the various loosening fluids and removing the rocker assembly and distributor. I have actually managed to turn the motor one revolution by using a floor jack on the flywheel. Is anyone aware of a tool that would bolt to the damper pulley that would allow me to turn the crank in a safer manner with a pull bar? Thanks!

    would be best to make a plate with socket or nut welded to it and use the flywheel end. is there only 4 little bolts on the damper? could make a plate for it? pulled the pan or head? if its that stuck pull the head and crocus cloth the cyl walls.

    Yes, the damper has the 4 little bolts. Only thing on the motor that is wimpy. Good idea about the crocus cloth. I have the car under a cover outside, so will probably keep Mystery oil in the cylinders, and plan on pulling the head when cooler weather moves in. Thanks
