Good color to hide oil-leaks...

4 Speed Time!

Time to get the 4 speed apart and freshen it up. Two issues - the shift from first to second is pretty bad, especially when cold. Also, it really noisy in reverse. So, let's get it broken down -- here is a link to part 1 of the disassembly: https://youtu.be/G6FZYnpnc8c

And to all of those who subscribed to my YouTube channel and so have already gotten to view this video -- THANKS!!

More T-10 4-speed Disassembly!

Part II of the Studebaker Rescue T-10 4-speed disassembly. In this video, we finish the initial disassembly: https://youtu.be/Tpou7PezTw8

Now it's time to get started on disassembly of the smaller assemblies, and cleaning & inspection of each part.

Enjoy, and please comment with advice and questions.

Sunny Day for Painting

Finally had an off-day and a good weather day coincide today!

The morning was taken up by a couple of doctors appointments (routine physical, and picked up a new CPAP machine). This afternoon, got the valves covers stripped, primed, and painted. Also got the bellhousing plate cleaned up and painted. Below is a picture, but it was starting to get dark so the color doesn't look quite right on the valve covers, but in the sunlight the color is right on the money and glossy.

Was hoping to get the engine back in the car tomorrow, but it's supposed to start raining -- and rain into at least the middle of next week -- ugh. Still have to adjust the valves, and get the distributor in and set, and hopefully get the starter cleaned up/painted and bolted on before I stick the engine back in.

Here's the pic of this afternoon's work:

I haven't watched the entire video yet. At the beginning it appeared to have four field coils.

[r1lark]

Gary, it's true that it does have four field coils, but that's not the unusual thing I had in mind.

But you are sorta on the right track.

Breaking News - Engine Back in!

Starter Tune-up Part 2.............1964 Daytona

Here is a link to the Starter Tune-up Part 2 video: https://youtu.be/9bB3CtskrzE

Final installment in a day or two. Trying to break the videos up into smaller 'chunks' that don't take so long to watch.

Tomorrow will be a break in the rain here in North Carolina -- sunny and mid-60s temperature -- so I'll get everything hooked up on the engine and hopefully get started back installing the dual exhaust.

Starter Tune-up Part 3 and DONE

Finally here is the last video on the Starter Tune-up. Too many videos on such a minor item, future videos will need to be cut down on detail or I need to talk faster or both.

Here is the link to the video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/DTqLEtskY7k

Neat!


(My Mopar engine's got a separate shaft with the oildrive under the distrubuter shaft & with those out I've just made a long shaft that fits in the slot.)

I have ground down the end of long piece of rebar or all tread to prime the oiling system. But you use what you got.
