Check the shift cable that goes between the shifter and the transmission. If it's damaged internally it will not move properly and the condition you stated will be a symptom. Easiest way to check it is to disconnect the transmission end of cable and see if it moves freely. If not, replace it.

The oil filter is on the back side if the engine block under the intake manifold. You have to go between the fire wall and engine, it is tight in there. To get at it from the top of the engine bay I have to un-bolt and move the cruise control actuator and vacuum canister from around the passenger side shock tower & fire wall area. It helps to have a cap type oil filter wrench (65mm/14 flutes) with sockets and extensions. .

This link may give your more info for what I'm trying to explain.

Did you get a new one? or used and yes you need to replace thermostat , also flush radiator and system repeatedly as your heater core maybe becoming blocked buy some radiator flush and read directions! follow heater hose to engine, thermostat will be in the top line

When you replaced it with a used one , it was a gamble and one you lost ,time to buy a new one ENJOY

I would say you have toasted your main fuse board and the only true fix is to replace it GOOD LUCK

The carburetor could need adjustment. I had a Ford truck do that. they replaced the spring in the carburetor. but a simple adjustment could fix also. or your distributor cap could need replaced. A friend had that problem.

I assume your fan is not turning which can be heard with just the key on at low. You will need to replace your heater fan , buy a Haynes book for your car $10 or so and read how to replace it, you could also check fan in car by jumping a 10 amp line to it to make sure fan is bad! Check anti freeze volume, and thermostat if fan is good.

IT MAY BE A CV JOINT DOES IT MAKE MORE NOISE IF YOU TURN LEFT OR RIGHT

lower motor noise. sounds like the main bearing might be going on the motor . how many miles are on the car?
