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.

I think it can be still saved with a little work. It ran when it was parked.

I was perusing "Those Wonderful Unauthorized Accessories" book and came across a bunch of devices for Free-Wheeling. What exactly is free wheeling, why would you want this and does anyone actually have one on their car now? Seemed to be popular back in the day.

Something I should know but can't remember. Is there a certain position of the two holes in the U-Joint Inner Cap. The inner cap will fit in any position as the bolt holes are evenly space. I know some will only go on two ways because the bolt holes are not spaced evenly. Thanks.
