Hi Dave, As Don said it might be your crankshaft pulley making that "awful wicked metal to metal scraping sound. My car is an '85 w/ a b230f. At 1st, I had no idea what the sound could be coming from, until all of these EXCELLENT brickboarders meantioned it. A month after hearing that particular sound turned out to be a bad crankshaft pulley aka harmonic balancer. It will fail due to the rubber on the pulley getting dry, causing the two pieces of seperated metal on pulley to scrape. Paid $90 for one, which seemed like a lot for just a big hunk of metal. I don't get why the steering wheel would have locked up then? Maybe the pulley to the power steering-to-crankshaft pulley wasn't working... due to the slipping of the c. pulley? Make a note of this, get it checked out and update us on it. G-day.
