It shifted very well, and what look like real good oil in it...He steamed it and I added 80 /90oil.to keep the rust away. How long should I keep that oil in there?. it'll be a while til we finish the entire engine...Thanks...Bruce | | | | | Joined: Apr 2011 Posts: 181 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2011 Posts: 181 | We have a restored '38 Canopy Express and I think the transmissions may be close to the same. I think you probably still have a 206 and mine is a 216. But to answer your question, let it soak until you are satisfied those seals have swelled up enough to do the job of holding the usual transmission fluid and will not run past the seals. For any more I'd try either Larrowe and Sons in Big Sandy, OR or the Filling Station in Lebanon, OR. Both have some good knowledge about this vintage of Chevrolet's.
