Re: Running Without The Ford Mag

Terry, keep in mind that it makes absolutely no difference how much oil is splashed by slingers because it doesn't change the capacity of the the oil funnel or a mag post oil line which is all controlled by gravity.

"Called Bergs on Monday and was told the same thing closing with no prospective buyers. They told me the biggest problem was getting supplies to make the radiators and finally gave up because of so many headaches. Covid did its number once again."
