Re: New Speedometer Question
It's only crazy to buy a 70 year old vehicle and expect it to be like a new vehicle. Our term for the lack of amenities is "Embrace the suck". I've hotrodded some vehicles to death. (1925 T C cab, 1926 T roadster pickup, 1971Camaro.) And driven/owned many dozens of T's A's and other old ca...

Re: Valve seat in 230 flathead
Well, there are no intake seats per se. So you can grind them in position with a seat grinder The exhaust CAN be done insitu, but you will need the necessary tools and skills to do so. Not very common anymore.

Re: Passenger side mirror, mounting pics needed.
There are supposed to be 2 threaded inserts in the body. Not only for the mirror, but also to hold the deep water fording intake pipe.

Re: Distributor 180 out
You shouldn't be able to. It's supposed to be indexed.
The rebuild probably isn't advancing because it is assembled incorrectly.

Re: Transportation
Hire a hotshot hauler.
We ship railroad power trucks this way several times a year. They are a minimum of 15,000 lbs. Most have winches to load if it is a 'roller'. (We use a 20,000lb gantry crane at work.)

Re: Wire Routing / Mounting Hardware / Clips / etc. ???
The parts manual (the big one, there are several) shows all the parts and gives dimensions and often, locations.
Between the manuals I have found EVERYTHING I've needed.
Ignore the chapters, closely examine ALL the pictures and illustrations

Re: Grandpa’s M37
Try 3rd gear in low range.
And I never worry about temps. Driving home from work today at 114F it never got above 190F in traffic.

GL4 straight 90wt
FYI:
Shopper's Supply is now stocking 2 gallon jugs of GL4 90wt.
The house brand is Harvest King. $30 a jug. The last time I bought it I paid $130 for a 5 gallon pail.
This is way more economical.
