  • @RayScrafield

    Travis, I used to sell tools to all the shops and one of my Union 76 stations burned to the ground because of one of those old drop lights. They had it hanging from a cord reel and one day they were using it over an engine bay and it dropped and broke the bulb. The spark from the bulb lit off some flammable liquid, gas or oil. That's why most shops stopped using incandescent droplights and shifted to flourescent/LED lights. Be very careful with that light. There's a reason they are in antique shops.

My brother has a 1954 3100 that has been updated to a 350 and a 4 speed that he is currently doing a frame off resto on. I like how thorough you are when you are working on something.

    Substitute your WD-40 and PB for a 50-50 mixture of Acetone and automatic transmission fluid... It makes WD Look like water.. Squirt a little on every bolt or nut or linkage that you figure you'll have to put a wrench on... It will make disassembly a lot easier with less stripped bolts and nuts... And it's dirt cheap to make and will last a long time... See you soon...

    Travis, something I learned a long time ago, and I have no idea of it's veracity, when a radiator sits for a long time and completely dries out, the scale inside of it will chip off and clog the tubes. So, it's a smart thing to do to fill it up and give it a real good flush out. When you take a radiator off, if it has fluid in it, store it that way. Full up is the best way to keep it moist inside. Ask your Dad and see if he has heard that. I'd be curious. Also, you never did tell us how you made the fan blade fit. What did you end up doing?
