Generally .060 over 10 or 11 inch drums max. What do they measure now?

Kool. A 230 or a 265 would be great. Speed Parts, George Asche, Edgy Speedshop, Langdon sells nice cast headers for both.

Gotta get me a spring like that cant find any at home.

What 218 ? Yah missing mine and i might know where 1 is.

Just drain and fill with GL 1 if you need piece of mind. Like Ed and I said we both used the modern type GL4/5 with no ill effects. Mine has had GL 5 for 6 years as I didnt know any better. We dont need a " trans gear oil mass hysteria"....lol

Great idea thanx

Hey all, Who has been pestered by these biting, smelly Asian beetles. The look like Lady Bugs but are not. Last fall was terrible, these suckers trying to get indoors by the 100s. Still finding some crawling around. Thank you US Dept Of Agriculture for introducing these pests to North America....BOOH

I have too without ruining tbe brass. Wonder if the sulphur content varies in brands etc. Is this the same as, oh you should run non detergent 30 weight oil only in those old flatheads ?

That might be fine in the R10 overdrive. I could use 50 weight oil. I found a source for GL 1 nearby. NAPA Canada does not stock all they do in US stores.

Heres what im gonna use

Ive used GL 4 for years in truck trans no ill effects. Try and find GL1 around here.

Nice motorsickle thread

I have known many great couple's who did not take wedding vows and lived very happy lives. The piece of paper does not guarantee happiness and success.... Living at different addresses and own bank accounts works for many too.

Yes think it would work good..

I wish

Okay on my C series truck my glove box door flys open every time i floor it. Not sure a magnet latch would work. Anyone else deal with this?

Whos the Boss? Whats this ask the Wife stuff?

Yup that can be.done

What kinda chebby is that? A British Vega with 2.3 liter aluminum engine...lol Shoulda bought her a Cortina...lol

Or there 1970s slogan, " Chiverlay building a better way to see the USA".....lol And the " Pay me now or pay me later" oil filter jingle

Listen here Wiggo! Want to see a Mopar Flathead 6 bike that made world record speeds. https://www.allpar.com/history/plymouth/motorcycle.html

Okay here are some pics of the conversion, not too difficult to do. But it involves machining down the shaft to fit into the flathead 6 block. I did it the primitive way, by using a long strip of sandpaper and going it slow and easy, not much material needs to be removed. It worked very well, had an issue with wiring and my control module fried, so pulled it out and have been using my points dizzy since. I need to get it back in operation , and just have not bothered to date..

Thrashing Cows did the initial write up. I also did the conversion and posts. I will post on this in a short while with pics..

I hear yah Brother. Im uploading a U tube video as i type this Its me and my reliable Fargo cruising the highway this morning in the end of winter.

I know all about the SBC BN. More reliable? Lets agree to disagree on that point. The flathead was not only used in cars and trucks but in Industrial applications for many many years they are deadnuts reliable. SBC more powerful? Okay fine GM needed 2 extra pistons and a V block to do it as the 216 snd 235 Stovebolts certainly couldn't. Your comparing apples to pineapples. On your economic protestations SBC is cheapest, parts aftermarket stuff etc Most guys on here are not concerned with that, as they want stock or nearly stock setups. Hey you can build as you see fit no problem there. Just know most on here like and prefer stock engines and chassis.
