Re: Transmission Oil
You can use GL-4 or GL-5 in the differential because of the lack of "yellow" metal in the rear axle. But, IMO, GL-4 is a better option because: rear axle lube can end up in the transmission, the...

Re: Transmission Oil
I agree, I don't see any call out of the GL rating, IMO it needs to be GL-4. I would also use a multi viscosity.

Re: 34 fan question
Shouldn't the fan be forward of the hoses. That's what the recess in the top tank is for is it not?

Re: 34 starter switch
OK, think I misunderstood the question!!! What coop said. Does it have an ammeter? Which way is it pointing? Unless the generator has been changed or modified it should be positive ground.

Re: Green bible sale
Unless you want a hard copy you can download a digital version for free. Or purchase a DVD with it and 12 other early parts manuals. I really like having it on my computer.

Re: starter solenoid
This is a little different approach, but if your not trying to be 100% original you can hook the horn power lead to just about any point that is an always hot connection. They may be calling the...

Re: 8BA Running Temperatures
The hotter the better for the engine, but there are limits of course. I would say 180 as a minimum and 190 to 195 is better.

Re: 34 starter switch
The generator is the most likely thing to be damaged, and if the generator is providing reverse polarity to the battery, that is not good.

Re: Flywheel part numbers?
Well, not sure I understand this one because the flywheel diagrams are numerous and obvious. But if you really can't find them, the V8 call-out is on Pg 215. The base number is 6375. The listings...
