Thanks Cal...OK, if I call you Cal?...seriously..it means a lot when an experienced owner thinks that. Do you still have one now?
I'm very cynical & I'm holding any happiness back until my first drive around the neighborhood. If it drives OK, I'll let my guard down.
I should change the oil before I take it around the block. I use 15w-40 (diesel grade) in my 1960s cars, would that be OK for this? This is my first 1950s vehicle & have no experience with engines from the era or UK cars. Is this a Flat-Head? From the site photos it seems some components have been upgraded. Hopefully it's been overhauled to accept the unleaded gas we have.
I can't exactly call the owner & ask !!?#?#$
PS. Aren't you folks supposed to be asleep now?
