Re: Packing Differential Bearings?
I only use the final lubricant as assembly lubricant. So for the Ford I use the same lubricant I fill the differential with when done. For the most part there is no need to pre lube.

Re: Cleaning a Hydrostatic fuel gauge
I just leave the acid in for about 10-20 Minutes. Then rinse over and over again with water, or follow the instructions above. If the acid can not reach the stoppage chances are it will not work.

Re: 32 steering wheel on a 35
The 35 wheel is very unique one year item. Check the ford club restoration book. The wheel has raised areas every inch or so around the perimeter. Very obvious.
