Hi all,

I am refilling the BW T10-M1 with new gear oil.  The owner's manual says 3.5 pints and to use 90W, mild to extreme pressure-M568-D. When filling, I was only able to get 3 pints in.  So just for grins, I check with the internet on best way to fill and what I learned was to only use GL-4 80W-90 gear oil.  It turns out I put in GL-5 80W-90. The info I am getting and confirmed with the NAPA guy, the GL-5 is corrosive on the brass synchro's and should not be used on our older transmissions.  I have drained it out.  Ugh.  Now I am looking for the correct GL-4 80W-90 gear oil, but none of the retailers stock, so I am having to go mail order or special order.

Do you have a recommended brand, old school gear oil 90W?  I want to stay away from synthetic and used regular gear oil, just like back in the day.

Thanks

Cory

Cory,
  Redline makes some good products. I have a wide ratio toploader on my exSCCA 67 Mustang sedan racer use their gear oil in it, works well. You might give it a looksee.

Dave

Sent you a PM.

Thanks
Dave

Cory,
  Very cool photo- I thought I'd seen it before, so I did a little digging and found the article that Marv Neely wrote for the August-September 1978 issue of The Marque. Gives some good insight on how Ford dispositioned those cars once Hertz was done with them.

Pete,
   Very interesting. What is lacking, based on these photos, for Phil to have a complete system? Would be cool as heck for him to be able to assemble a system for display, or better yet, a running engine with this system.

Thanks,
Dave

Pete/Phil,
 Are the Conelec fuel injection pumps different than the ones they marketed in the 70s for carbureted cars?

Dave

Mike Russell's 67 on the track at SAAC-49.

Dave

Tim Meyer is the guy who's having them made. His supplier is in the UK, have had couple of delays,  they're currently saying May or June. I believe they've already made and sold them for the 351c. I'll try to find and post the link shortly. I believe they are around $80 each.

Dave

Pete,
  Pretty darned interesting. I live about 45 minutes from there, had no idea they existed. Some heavy duty manufacturing going on in that shop. Thanks for sharing this.

Dave

Interesting piece, great find!

Dave

Looks like 1085.

Here are a couple of shots from an early 66 with the original boots

That's what 843 had.

846 still has those same boots.

Dave

Pete,
  The 67 fuel injection photos are very cool, also appreciate the fact that you have expanded your content to include 1969-70 Shelbys. Thanks for doing that.

Dave

Try this link- it's the same one I bought on ebay.

John/Phil,
  I have a new (reproduction) one I recently bought for my 289 2-4V Holley setup. 14" long, 8-1/2" distance between the hose nipples. Keep in mind that's for a pair of 4160 Holleys. The spacing on a pair of 4150s (like on a high riser 427 and maybe a Tunnelport 427) will be different. Hope this helps.

Dave

Looks like 6S169, Wes Burmarks old car.
