7,500 rpm on the bottom end would definitely make for an oil pan failure. '56, your welds look a lot better than the ones on that intake.

black soot is much better than coolant/rust. As you imply, a carb adjustment is much easier than the alternative.

Amen to that Bmorgil. You can tell that '56's folks did a great job in bringing him up, and instilled a great work ethic in him to boot.

You are well on your way in getting started AJ-MJ. We look forward to tagging along in your progress. 1995 doesn't seem to be that long ago, but it is almost 30 years ago.... Holy cow. But anyway,...

Well said '56.

Usually if you have noise when deceleration, that often tells you that you have excessive backlash on the ring and pinion on the differentials. Dr. Dana can elaborate more on that subject. It isn't...

There is typical more than one way to do things besides right or wrong. I would sure try to loosen the main caps to sneak the new seal out. That will save you some time.

The next question is if the hot rod Kaiser Supersonic head was put on at that time or later on.

Thank you to all who didn't make it home

The Jerry can idea is an awesome idea '56, but like '51 said, you'd have to vent the top of the tank to flow correctly. The Jerry can would be the least intrusive way to extend your milage, and the...

Are you 100% sure that it is engine oil? After I do a service on the Heep, the transmission leaks out the front seal until it seeks the level it likes. It leaks at the bell housing. Just a thought.

Information is pretty limited on the Mustang Rebuilders Inc. There are a few adds on eBay that are dated in the early '60s.

Unfortunately, you can only upload one photo at a time into the attachment manager. Once it's in your manager, you can add four more photos for a total of five.

Not on pavement. I know I locked up the rear 11" drum brakes on the wagon, thirty years ago when a car pulled out in front of me. They were way too close, so I locked up the brakes for a brief...

Great to hear that she is running like a sewing machine. Great tech tip on the 24 volt/ waterproof distributor timing process.

Fantastic outing! Well done '56. Flossy looked great out with Grampa's Corvette and your Dad's truck.

Rear main seals were originally rope:...

The views are definitely increasing TJ. It is interesting to see what folks are looking at. The last time I looked, it was heavy on M38A1 related material to include Pelagro. Today it's all over...

I'll probably spend a lot of my free time doing research on the subject tonight. I'm interested to find out myself. The possibilities are endless at the moment

Way to go 56. We are proud of your progress and your drive. You'll have some Gremlins to handle with the electrical grounds, but that's not bad for how quick it all came together. I would top off...

I agree whole heartedly with Bmorgil. It doesn't have to be done to show off . If anything, it might inspire others to fix up their rig and get out there too. The Heep didn't look too out of place...

I'll also hit up David at Ewillys to see if he has any info to see if it was a regional or national rebuild. As far as I knew, the Heep had never been outside of Illinois until I liberated it to the...

Agreed. The cowl to windshield seal leaves a lot to be desired for proper fitment, just like the windshield to glass seal on the 2A.

Agreed. The glass guy called me up and asked what vehicle the rubber seal was supposed to fit..... Not even close. Since the 2A glass is within a frame, they used urethane to seal it all up.

I completely agree with Bmorgil on the quality of the shoes for sure. I'm still running the old drums that probably date back to before at least the Nixon administration, but are pretty round. I...

I was cleaning on the Heep today, still waiting to pick up the starter and generator, and I found the rebuild tag on the engine. It was painted over and dirty. I'll have to do some research on...
