Don't know. The car was not driven for almost a year and I do not know what all the PO did to it. The guy I bought it from bought it running, drove it home and a couple of times around the block, did some work on the battery pan, put in a new radiator and hoses then got too busy at his job to do more so never took it off the no-op license and let it sit for almost a year, then when he tried to drive before selling it discovered he could not get it into gear and thought it the clutch needing bleeding which he tried unsuccessfully . . . he was not to savvy and also burnt the starter out trying to start it before he had a chance to really check it out .... The price I paid was low because of the starter and the clutch not working . . . actually I found what the problem was after I purchased it . . . he had replaced the battery pan and in the process bumping the clutch tubing about, the compression nut at the back of the clutch slave had worked loose just enough to allow leakage which could not be easily seen as the fluid traveled down into the back of the wheel well and was absorbed by the undercoating.
