Sure pays to know a little bit about the history of engines and about the different brands of engines. A difference which confuses a lot of novices is knowing a 216 from a 235 Chevy. Most of us here would figure this out blindfolded. Small block Chevies are a problem, difficult to spot differences after the 265 engine.
Transmissions and drive axles are more difficult to sort out.
These modern cars, I look under a hood and keep my mouth shut. I need to look for awhile just to figure out what part is the engine, even then I am not sure. I have never seen so much stuff squeezed into such a small area.
You boys know when all of us die, we will take with us almost all knowledge about classic cars and trucks. There will come a day our classics will only be seen in museums.
...and you always thought gasoline would never cost more than 50 cents a gallon.
Thank you all for helping me sort out this Clark trans thing.
