Looks like all is well with the Shoebox. After I drained the oil, I let it sit for a spell and thought I should see some separation. None!?! I'll monitor as I do check the oil on all my gear before I fire it up. I do appreciate all the tips, the advise and the suggestions here at the "Barn"...

What Mike is referring to is the location that you have posted your question. This thread is basically "letters to the editor" If you have a question that is vehicle related, then your posting should be in the "Early V8" section.

Well, you might be right!:) I'm going to try and use my steel oil extractor and see if it works. I just got it. I bought one from Princess Auto... a power fist unit.... some time ago, made who knows where, and it busted the first time I tried to use it. Remember "you get what you pay for!"

Happy Birthday Ron!

Not sure what pump you have, is it the one that looks similar to a grease gun? I have one of those but haven't used it yet, but hopefully will be handy to empty the vessels that holds those canister filters, as well as filling the transmission and rear end. Now I have something similar, a huge...

Where abouts are you? After some discussion with the guys here on this site and a lot of great information I started digging a little deeper and I found a guy that can get RedLine products. As a matter of fact, I just picked up two Quarts of MT-90 Which is a 75W-90 GL-4 Gear oil good for...

Yes, thanks for the heads up! Sorry you got hit. What is it with these people! I've had a few shots like that and I froze! Sure didn't want to touch the darn thing. Anyways, I did a three finger shift and opened the "task manager" once that opened, I selected the offending webpage and hit...

I'll be checking for sure. As for the fuel, I only use ethanol free in in the car and in all my lawn and garden stuff and I treat the fuel as well

I changed the oil and filter, then I cleaned the plugs. Put some oil in the cylinders and cranked it a few times before putting the plugs back in. Oiled the distributor and checked to make sure all the plug wires were tight. I'm thinking the plugs were worse than I thought. H10C's with only a...

Well, I know you guys have been sitting on the edge of your seats, waiting to hear what happened...... Been tinkering all day, runs like a top! Thanks to the guys for the input and guidance. Cheers

Decided that the difference in the value of the dollar is a moot point. Old iron is fun and ain't going to be cheap! Weather has been a bit nasty around here, but finally got back to the car business today. Drained the oil... not a lot of extra fluid seemed to come out!?! It looks like fairly...

Most, if not everything we need up here needs to be ordered through suppliers in the U.S. At least that's what I seem to find. Even my 8N tractors parts that I order through a Canadian dealer most often has a Dennis Carpenter sticker on it! Makes this a very expensive hobby in this neck of the...

I'm going with what Mac has stated, I respect his opinion that's for sure. I respect and appreciate the input and help for the rest of you guys as well. Problem is finding products here in Canada from my few local suppliers that fit the criteria. I'm an hour or more from town and my last trip in...

Thanks Ross, I have one for the 1950 Ford car. Neither actually helps when trying to find the equivalent oils in the 21st century! I really don't want to start trashing the car with improper oils, so it will sit until I find what I need. Here in Canada it is a lot more difficult to find the...

Not sure Andy what the hole in the fuel pump push rod is for. Any pictures?
