Re: IML: Dented Oil Pan

[aeyn <mr85000@xxxxxxxxx>]

for your 73 Imperial: You might be able to beat the dent out in
the meantime, until you replace it.  You might be able to
straighten up the pickup, but that should also be replaced.  This
happened to my 1972 Fury Custom Suburban's 400 and I wound up
replacing the pan and the pickup.  DO NOT DRIVE YOUR IMPERIAL
UNTIL YOU HAVE FREED UP SOME SPACE IN THE PAN!  You could starve
the engine for oil.
