Re: Final Drive ratio, will a 3.25/1 be too steep ??

Are you using a stock cam ? Diameter of tires would help with answering your question.
Do you have or plan to drive where they have hills/ mountains ?

Re: Can’t get brake lights to work (new wiring)

Re: Water in oil after sat 2 years

Very likely the 4 core plugs on the oil pan rail . Easy to replace IF you can remove the oil pan . Of course I’m assuming it didnt freeze .

I’m pretty sure the 41 was the first to eliminate the welch plugs on the bottom.

Re: How far should I go with my '41 flathead
