The Rotoshims seem to be out of stock every time I check anyway.

Hopefully you don't have to do that very often. I can't remember the last time I had my starter off and I am running 12 volts.

I'm getting ready to help a friend install an engine. But I no longer have my frame spreader. I'm curious, could a rear spring spreader be used in a pinch for a frame spreader? If not, I will have to travel some miles to borrow one.

Where I see it most is at our club. As the older folks pass on or can no longer attend, we are not getting new members, so our club is dwindling in size.

It is not that I dislike the 85W-140, it is very hard to find GL-4 85W-140 but GL-4 140 is readily available. I have been told that GL-5 is not good for "yellow parts" in the transmission. Both Mitchells have brass synchro rings.Most 85W-140 oils are GL-5. The second part is Does the 85W-140...

Mitchell recommends 85W-140 Gear Oil in their Synchro Transmission and O/D. I'm curious at what temperature 85W-140 "becomes" 140? I am considering using straight GL4 140W oil in my Mitchells.

Our club has a couple of outings per month. Some of the places we visited on our tours, I would never been able visited on my own or knew they even existed. If someone's car needs work, the more experienced members will "guide" the newbs on how to do the work. For heavy lifting, everyone...

Y'all must be talking highway miles because I sure can't get that kind of mileage driving around town, which is what I do mostly.

Now we are talking big bucks and not worth it with a stock manifold.

I guess my point was that Amazon referred me to Snyder's.

Alexa (Amazon AI) sez this carburetor is not designed for my Model A. I should look on Snyder's Antique Auto for a compatible carburetor for my Model A.

I have Flat Head Ted's floaters and can easily overcome the traction of my 4.75/5.00 X 19 tires when braking. I think to only way to improve the braking is to put some fat tires on it. I don't see that happening any time soon.

Nice!

Printed? Please tell us more.

So you're saying he has a high dollar O'Reilly's that only lasted 200 miles as a spare. Hmmmm.
