2) If you have oil up to the threads in the tranny you will be fine. As far as the 80/90 wt. it will work in the tranny as a top off. It may thin the 600wt. out a little but if you need to you can add some STP to thicken it back up. JUST A LITTLE as that stuff is really thick.

3) Good luck on the road trip and have fun. Are you going to the National in Oregon in June? IF so we are having a Ford Barn meetup for Pizza, there is a thread here about it.

Won't be making it to Oregon. I'd love to do that someday. I am considering going to French Lick for that national meet this year. This car has been there in the past when the previous owner was alive.

This weekend we're going to Dewey, Oklahoma, to a car show that we usually go to. We normally take Clarence, the 1948 Ford panel truck but it's in bodyshop jail right now. It's about 350 miles each way. We've never driven the Model A more than about 150 miles in one day. I'm really looking forward to the adventure. FWIW: there will be one more interesting Model A there. Larry will be driving his Vicky from Albuquerque. It has a hopped-up banger motor (but otherwise pretty much original) and he drives it everywhere. Any other Model A's there will be hot rods, as this show is a hot rod and custom show.

b-t-w; I'm inside for lunch right now but when that's done I'm going to run into town and pick up lube and change out the trans and rear lube today.
