Well I pulled my 76 out to begin dismantling and saw that it was crooked. It has no visible damage to the skins, frame, base etc but it is the leaning tower of gas. The cast base seemed to be twisted and the pump would rock off center. I though that if I took the entire thing apart and removed the four 3/4" pipe frame and took the pressure off the plate that maybe it would flatten the base out a bit. Then I realized that the cast base is pretty unlikely to return to square. Took it apart and big surpirse it didn't straighen out. All I can think is too grind down the base but then the base will be angled? OK Oldgas engineers???
