No! I removed the cap and drain all of the old oil out.
I found a brand new Ford OEM never used or mounted AC compressor and it was sealed with the caps for 5.0 that I am putting in my 38 Ford Truck....
Very old thread. What headers are these and did you end up using it? Thanks [ATTACH]

I was at National Street Rod Association in Louisville, KY this past weekend and I saw the Little Kooler from Southern and no way is worth $300...

I did an experiment while back I though I would post my finding. Since I already had typical Red Loctite, I put it on bearing race and put in the...
Anyone know if 14 inch wheels will fit Speedway Disc Brake Kit, 1978-88 GM Caliper to Early Ford Spindle, 5 on 4-1/2In ? Thanks Waid [ATTACH]
That's how my frame maker Boling Brothers does it with Ford 9 inch. [ATTACH]
I bought a DIY universal kit which has a 1.25 DOM and it's really nice for $300 [ATTACH]
I already had that idea but did not post it. The bracket will sit on little bit of radius of the frame which makes it little more difficult....
I need some suggestions for my upper control arm frame mount for my 38 pickup. Since I am using SN95 Mustang Rear Axle, my upper control arms...
I figured I have nothing to lose so I tried to fix the badly warped tube and it worked! Got back on my lathe and made another bearing adapter for...
There was almost no runout on the DOM Tubing.
There is no space to put shim stock. It's slip fit not loose. Looking at Loctite there are 3 for Cylindrical Application. Loctite 609 is for...

I jumped on my lathe and made an aluminum bearing adapter. I also got a 1.75" DOM as well. As you can see, the tube is really bend. I learned...
Ford 8.8's uses roller bearings on the axle and they may be more tolerant of any misalignment compared to Ford 9 inch bearings.
I narrowed Explorer 8.8 and put it under my 64 Falcon. I used a straight edge and got it close and welded it up and with over 1,000 miles I have...
I spent couple of hours at friends house with acetylene torch and did not make any progress as we ran out of gas. I took my portable band saw and...
Agree. However, I will probably drive less than 500 miles a year on my street rod therefore I will line up with straight edge which should be...
I tried that and ended up with bunch of pin holes and it went down hill from there at which point just remove the TIG and went to my trusty MIG....
I removed the TIG welds with die grinder and rewelded with my Hobart MIG. So much easier and quicker. Wish I never bought the TIG:mad: Now I just...
