S.co.t question

If you will PM "PeterC" at the link BELOW, another FordBarn member that owns the beautiful, innocent-looking '35 3-Window coupe seen below, he 'll be able to tell you with authority what you need to know. Tell him that Coopman sent ya!

I use Lucus 85w-140 gear oil. There's only 3 bearings and two gears, nothing too complicated. Check every 1000 miles and keep the level where you can see it in the bottom of the reservoir/breather opening.

I would try to reach out to Ronnie Roadster. He has run one for years on his '32 and is one of the top experts regarding the rebuilding of these super chargers.
 
Hi Tim
What I use is a 90 weight synthetic gear lube this has worked perfectly in all of my Scot or Ital superchargers for many thousands of miles. The synthetic lube is what I recommend using for the many blowers I have built for others including GMC blowers.
Remember to leave the gear case vent open so no pressure builds up in the case.

The rest of the car is beyond insane, too! DD

Check-out some of the details like custom exhaust brackets. Finish is phenomenal. DD

The one time I got eyeballs on PeterC's '35, they fell out and stayed that way for two days! They don't get any better, neater, cleaner or more detailed a custom job than that one!

Is the speedometer turtle mounted correctly in this photo? I thought it should point toward the left side of the vehicle.

I agree with others, this is one beautiful early V-8.

Zeke ....On any common old Ford, you are correct. Now (and since I don't know squat about Columbia rear ends and how they are plumbed), this car is equipped with a Columbia. Would that have anything to do with the cable's direction exiting the turtle? DD
 
.

There is a switch for shifting the Columbia mounted just to the right of the radio head, and down at the bottom of dash panel which can be seen on Peter's car if you look carefully through the steering wheel. I believe that speedo cable is routed to that switch on the RIGHT side of car. But what do I know? DD

Given how well that car is sorted out, I don't believe the turtle orientation was not purposely done, but who knows. The usual reason for strange alignment was when somebody shortens a torque tube and/or moves the radius arm mounts, they forget to align the turtle in the correct orientation. Have seen this issue multiple times!

Peter told me that he's selling his two Ford coupes to give himself more time to devote to his beautiful Mossport, big-block '66 coupe! His green '39 with early Caddy engine MIGHT still be available. DD
