Parts For Sale & Wanted / Re: OD transmission for 52 HJ ?
« on: October 29, 2020, 08:54:58 PM »
When I got my HJ (1977), bought without trans or OD, owner forgot where he had taken it for rebuild? He died a week later!
Went to a local trans shop, got a Rambler trans and a Studebaker OD.  Complete interchange, no problems!

--use 85 octane, 10w30 or 15w40 oil, change at 2000mi or at 3000mi if you have an oil filter.
I used a gallon of diesel fuel with every fill up with gas ,helps with vaporlock in my 53 Kaiser.

bustidwing--Please re-read post#19. I am a Life Member and every year the calendar was published requests were made to submit pictures of your car that were suitable for publication. This became a struggle for the calendar editor to come up with at least 12 (one per month) in time for publication. Some years calendar was not sent out till Jan 15th or so. Remember submission to printer has a time line to assure calendar will be received prior to Jan 1st, that is why Gordie wrote post #19 Not a Mandate just a Fact!!!!

If you don't want it don't comment on price--
I looked for over a year for a 83 AMC Eagle SX4. found one with no rust, 100k miles, all original Paint/upholstery, etc. did not drive it, met my criteria, got it for 3k, cleaned carb, now has 113k miles and a few trophies
Same story on my 84 Rampage, one family owned, trade in at a Dodge dealer, has matching topper, 85k miles drove it, asking $4995, got it for $3000, now 92k miles also a few trophies.
Research $$ asking prices and conditions then negotiate with your bottom dollar, if not met walk away!!
Asking prices and actual dollar need by seller will not always match!!

You might try adding some SEAFOAM to the gas, available at most auto parts stores, cleans out varnish etc. from the fuel system and is supposed to eliminate carbon deposits.
