Sounds like another great time! Unfortunately, two events for me, one being not recovered enough to drive. Have a beverage and sacrifice or blow something up for me!

The FSOV's used on the midrange engines, especially the older one, I forget if it was the Trombetta that was replaces with Synchro Start or the other way around, did have a tendency burn up coils. SOMEWHERE here there resistance values posted for them. When it shuts off, take a resistance...

The rubber seal at the bottom of the stat, the bulb end, seals outside leaks. The thermostat seal, the lip seal down in the housing, prevents leakage form the block loop to the cooling loop. If the seal wasn't there, there would be a slow steady overheat condition because the path of least...

Old stuff ran hardest at higher rpm. That is why the stinger came about on the PT pump. The plug in the gov hsg is removed and a rod welded/brazed to the end of the plug. Defeats the governor and you have almost unlimited RPM. As RPM comes up, so does the fuel pressure. Yes, the torque was a bit...

That is because an engine turning at a lower RPM burns less fuel, back then, they knew that but hadn't figured out how to move the torque curve to 12-1600 rpm, they made the best at 2000 +. Also, back then you couldn't have used the "gear fast, run slow" concept of today because there was no...

Might. And there are plenty on threads on it. With pictures. @162tcat, I just saw this thread. That would I believe, be a PTR style fuel punp. The ones with the ball in the shaft are PTG. PTR were used early on, and had external aneroid on turbo applications. PTG was later and incorporated the...

You can shift 2-5 in low and do a quick shift to high and I think it was 3rd gear and continue on. I only used 1st low or high if I was in the dirt playing around.
