Re: 1951 Pontiac Chieftain
It contains all the useful minerals and vitamins that aren't present in modern oils.
It's also still better than the spec from the 50's, even as tractor oil. It's just about the perfect fit in every way.
Cleaned the gearbox valve block again but it's still being difficult. Bought a pressure gauge so I can run through the service manual diagnostics.

Re: 1951 Pontiac Chieftain
Challenge accepted. I'm going to see what finish I can get on the top cap then. Black looks real nice when it's really flatted back carefully. That there is "good enough for the engine bay".mercrocker wrote: ↑Tue Nov 17, 2020 5:29 pm Horns should blow forever, now....I honestly thought I was going to be looking at something chromed when I first scrolled down the top pic!
I'm going to go for a $15000 paint job finish, just to see if I can...
