low oil pressure ?
When I first start up the truck, I have very strong pressure but after driving a while, it reads close to O. Should I be concerned ? Fresh 15-40 and filter and no leaks.

Valve springs
Sealed power VS 393 NOS valve springs. Enough for three flatheads, more if you want ? NAPA seems to be selling these for $9.00 + ea. I think $5.00 each is reasonable plus shipping

Re: First start
Have to laugh a bit. Thinking back when I first started and drove my 35 pickup chassis up and down the road sitting on a milk crate ! Smiling all the way, great memories for sure.
