GENERAL TOOL AND MACHINE DISCUSSION / Re: Any Shiner Bock fans here?
« Last post by Uncle Buck on Today at 03:42:16 AM »
Since originally posting this thread I can report that SB is my beer of choice. Closely followed by Yuengling, but that is only in the absence of SB.

On another unrelated note, I would highly suggest an Irish whiskey named Shankeys Whip. The stuff has a strong vanilla flavor and noticeably missing is the harsh edge of most whiskey.

I have to admit, fellas, that I too was wondering what was being talked about. But I hesitated asking a question and revealing my ignorance. So by being quiet I'm seeming smarter.

But I didn't know what the 8.8 was, either! I apologize for being such a chicken. :021:

Does anyone know what oil filters I need? NAPA doesn't have an entry in their computer for a Detroit 4-71.

I'm pretty sure there are two canister oil filters, one larger, horizontal, near the radiator end of the engine, one smaller, vertical, near the flywheel end. If anyone has NAPA or other part numbers for those, it would surely be helpful.

ŴÒW, I started buying what I could afford at 16 and never stopped. I never had deep pockets so pawn shops, flea markets, and used found in the classified ads was my primary hunting ground then. I bought new Craftsman when I could afford to.

Funny thing, I went to a site called Tite reach that sells the chain drive extensions that Snap-on used to sell 15-20 years ago for ago briefly and they also sell a version of the same device being discussed here.

Elroy is going to pass on 537 cubes. the 5 liter roller motor is just fine. the problem is the 2.73 ratio, marginal strength 7.5 INCH carrier.
Could you educate this young whipper snapped....

What are they measuring when they get the number because I've heard of the 9 inch rear end before but never looked into why they called them that.
