Re: oil leak
Thanks, you are very kind. Don’t have my ‘51 F1 here in MN this year so won’t have any lift need until it arrives (maybe next summer). I did pick up a 1992 F1 though (in great condition) to drive...

Re: For forum member "Pdstark"
Thanks Denny! I appreciate this example. Looks like it will work fine. It was great to meet you and spend time talking cars.

Re: Vacuum reading
On the 8BA or 8RT what should the idle RPM be (I think I remember something around 411?) - how would an idle RPM affect the vacuum reading?

Re: Autolite 216 plugs
Maybe I missed something but I did a cross reference for the E3’s but there was none for the autolite 216 or the NGK B6L. What E3 do you use?

Re: Autolite 216 plugs
You don't say what you have but the book for my '51 8BA says the gap should be .025 -.028. However, I use NGK's B6L's.

Re: Who's gonna fill their shoes?
The “electric flathead” was a humorous tongue-in-cheek comment intended to address the inevitable demise of the internal combustion engine in cars.

Re: 8BA Running Temperatures
I run gauges on both sides and 180 thermostats. I like the engine to get as hot as possible / practical on each drive. I've had no cooling issues!
