Re: Oil transfer - recommendations?
I use a pressure setup-got tired of using the hand pump (as shown in the above post) while lying under jack stands. Made from a garden sprayer, some 3/8 tubing and a shut off valve, just pressurize...

Re: Techno-Source-Flathead-Ford

Re: Under floor Master Cylinder Brake Bleeding
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned using a pressure bleeder, such as the one by Motive Power-fast, easy, efficient and does a great job getting air out of even difficult setups. My '36 is converted...

No question implants are expensive and can be problematic, but I think still better than the alternative-a bridge, or a toothless gap. Bruce, I feel for you, hope your repeat procedure works out....

Re: Intro
Hello Admiral,
Always nice to hear of another '36 pickup on this forum. One minor thing, '36 pickups are model 67, not model 37.

If he still has a 21 stud motor in his '36, and it is an early '36, it could have poured main bearings as opposed to an insert type (LB block). If it has poured bearings, I don't think the...
