Thanks for that. Yes, it needs to be torn down for inspection. I have a shop manual and have stripped and rebuilt a number of these transmissions...
Thank you. Yes I did instal a seal.
Thanks for that. I will check out.
Thanks for your interest and suggestions. My set-up uses an Offie 3640 trans adapter which accommodates the long input shaft and allows use of...
The CLS box (side shift) behind my flathead falls out of high on the overun. How can that be prevented? Any and all suggestions gratefully received.
Great - thanks.
My memory has failed me - who is/was the man in New York who rebuilt Cad Lasalle transmissions for dragsters and such?

Hello - sorry for the delay. Here in England I use a sheet gasket material called Flexoid which is oil and water resistant, comes on a roll,...
Is there any experience here of fitting a 4" SCAT crank to a 21-stud block?

I did, and was told that CMD is Cadillac Motorsports Development, part of the Cad500 company as FalconGeorge surmised. I'm now in touch with them....
Many thanks for your input and advice. I hadn't realised that the old time experts were still there at Isky Cams so a phone call from England to...
I have been given an Isky camshaft for my Cad 331 engine but there is no technical information apart from "110 degrees 701 CMD-2 hyd" on the box....
Thank you - that's just what's wanted.

Thanks Enbloc. You are, as usual, a mine of technical information.
Thank you, chaps. On a Ford Flathead which carbs would be suitable for blow-through without a box? Were boost-referenced fuel pumps available...
Why is it thought necessary to have a pressurised air-box surrounding the carb fed from a Paxton (or McCulloch) centrifugal blower? And how do you...
Oh - thanks!
Good questions. Flow would be measured at the input to the lubricaion system - at the output of the pump but after the pressure relief valve on...
