What do you think might be the reason for it running like this?

1986 chrysler fifth avenue was running great just yesterday but now i start it up today and sounds like this. Wants to die when out in gear. Any ideas?

Can't see timing marks on harmonic balancer after 4 barrel swap

Replaced the 2 barrel on my 1986 chrysler fifth avenue with a 4 barrel. Now when I start the car sometimes the engine will buck back and stop turning over. When the engine runs it runs nice and smooth. Used a timing light on it to see if I can fix this, i can't see the timing mark on the harmonic balancer. What do I do? I didnt change the distributors location since there was a 2 barrel.

Fixable or do i need a new door?

Was driving it up a hill with no brakes, engine died and it rolled down into a rock. Having extreme trouble finding a door at all so im hoping it can be salvaged.

Lately in my 2003 jetta 2.0, when I turn on the heat or ac, the car starts releasing terrible fumes into the cabin that smell like burning oil. Ive already replaced the cabin filter, so its not any debris in there. Also inspected the exhaust manifold to make sure not oil is dripping onto it and its clean. Anybody have ideas on how to repair this?
