dclarke 4,032 #2 Posted March 22, 2023 Back in ‘82 I had a 1950 Crosley wagon with the cast iron block. Those engines certainly weren’t very big. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ri702bill 8,323 #5 Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) Kind of like the GM Swing-and-a-miss method of the Tri-Five Chevys with the Power Steering pump off the back of the generator. Crank one of those to full lock on the steering and POP goes the coupler shaft!! Edited March 22, 2023 by ri702bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Certainly looks it - WAY better that the modern Ford V6's with the warer pump INSIDE the engine - WHAT were they thinking?????
