Re: Transmission Oil

If you put GL5 in a gearbox with yellow metals it will discolor the yellow metals after several years. It will NOT dissolve them in a few minutes like most people believe.

This I agree with.

When it comes to Hot Rods, A Ford in a Ford is not traditional, unless it's a flathead.

Re: Winfield su1a

Winfield's R1 cam was always advertised as a "3/4 Race" cam.
Much has been lost in translation over The last 50 years.

Re: Winfield su1a

I ran a Winfield R1 in a 59A 60 years ago.
The idle was smooth as the stock cam.
A real Winfield, not a copy. A stock 8CM or EAB cam would probably perform better.

Re: Help with an 8BA head.

I believe he has an EAB head, not as common as an 8BA head.
Any way, what he has is an easy fix.

Re: 1946-1948 Mercury Dash Boards

Yes this is correct.
Different color plastic for different years. '42 & maybe '46 being tan plastic, '48's that I've seen have been a "silver grey"
