In an NTSB post aircraft accident investigation published in 2003, it was reported that Marvel Mystery Oil was composed of 74 percent mineral oil, 25 percent stoddard solvent, and 1 percent lard. In case you guys think this is a negative post. I use it in my flathead.

We are going for the first time.

I think it is a Plymouth this year.

Really nobody has used an amp clamp???

Can I use a modern digital amp to read amp output of my generator? Will it bounce all over like a digital volt meter does on my 40 6 volt? I will buy a new amp clamp meter if it will work. Thanks Dave

Test drive results indicated 60 MPH actual according to Phone app 58MPH. I'll take that.

Chemical / Solvent Resistance Permatex Aviation form a gasket The product retains effective properties in contact with water, ethylene glycol, gasoline, motor oil, transmission fluid and sea water From spec sheet by Permatex Reason for using sealer I did not have a new gasket so I reused the...

Thanks again for the answers. I worked on the Waltham speedo lubed and calibrated. It was only showing 8 tenths when it should be a mile.. As soon as new cable comes in verification will be possible. Wasted $30 on universal to find out the crimp on end was not compatible with Waltham female...

I have pulled it out and got it working. Even calibrated using 38 coupe (thanks) method and found that it was only showing 8 tenths of a mile in 1 minute. There is a lever on the clock spring that changes spring preload. This was not difficult to do. Can not see how they want $400-600 at Bob's...

Gas leak was at sender gasket. Someone put screws that were too long in a couple of holes. Screw heads rounded out. Replaced all screws (SS 1032 1/2" long) and sealed gasket with Permatex. Sender is a KS sender and still works. No more leaks now. Still working on the speedometer and waiting for...

Spent the day removing speedometer and gage assy to free up stuck speedometer and calibrate speedometer which was 20 percent off high. All of this was greatly assisted by members of Ford Barn.

Just checked speedometer and there is the problem, locked up. OK one minute locked up next. It was even running smooth. thanks Dave

I have a universal cable coming today. The speedometer reads 70mph at 55mph. Thanks to all of you with suggestions. Dave

I have 6.00 x16 Pie Crust Firestone tire, 3.78 rear gears verified by counting teeth on ring gear and stamped 9-34, turtle says 19 on it. Afraid there is no selecting gears to fix this. I was going out to check odometer accuracy when the cable decided to act up. Bobs quoted me $400-600 for...

Good to know thanks. I took entire cable out of car and removing the old drive cable was very difficult. Do you think this impending failure might have something to do with the speed being 15MPH off. Speedometer was steady and had very little needle movement with no indication of problem.
