First, let me offer my sincere apologies to anyone that got confused by
my Crankshaft-oil-lube-oral-meandering.  My friends Scout smoked awful (blew the
coolest smoke circles out the elphant gun exhaust though), until we changed the 
oil.  My question now is:  Was it because it was the crank hitting the bath, or 
draw into the pcv or what?  At 9.5 quarts it could have been both? I'm still not
really understanding the sling-spray technique everyone is talking about.  Does 
each journal have a hole to spary the piston skirt?  How do cyl. walls get 
lubed?

        That being said, now onto more meandering...

Howard,  With all this talk about head-swapping, what is the true grit on the
block/bore/stroke setup for IH engines?  I thought the similarities were:

266,304 same crank different bore,
304,345 different crank same bore
345,392 same crank different bore

Is this bunk?

Ed,

        I just had a 3" custom installation in my T'all this past
Friday.  The guy took the two 2.25" pipe and mated them under the left
side, (drivers floor) to a single 3" pipe.  The 3" pipe then goes to a
single 3" DynoMax muffler, then 3" up over the axle and out the left
side under the rear fender behind the wheel.  All tolled it was $300
+tax.  I had received quotes all the way up to $450 from many
places.  $170 sounds like an AWESOME deal for the factory setup.

Subject: Ehaust Question???

I have a 1974 Scout II which is undergoing multiple surgerys
as seems everyone does to their babys at one time or another.

anyway I need an entire exhaust system I believe its 4 pipes including
the muffler.  I still waiting on my binder book, so I'm not sure anyway
I was give a ruff quote of $170.00 to do the job which includes custom
bending of pipes somthing I don't have the equipment for...

  Is this a good price?  If those of you whom have had things done could
share some approxmite figures it would help us who may 
do it in the future from getting rapped at the shop.  I don't have a
garage and am still building my tool reserve, much quicker now since I
bought a scout.

    Thanks

Steve,

Though the cable may have no kinks that you can see, it may have some you can 
feel.  You need to hang the cable from your hands (one hand on each end) and 
slowly turn/twist/roll the cable and feel for the -snap- as a kink rolls over.  
The other problem may be that the lube is not thick enough.  Often times at my 
Uncles' shop, customers come in for the same problem as yours, and they lube it 
and bang, good to go.  Don't be afraid to put grease in there, sometimes the 
cable overruns the rotor in the speedo.

Subject: Speedometer "Bounce"

I installed a new speedo cable last night and last night it worked great.
Today, however it bounced so wildly at speeds under 30 that I couldn't tell
what speed I was travelling.  The bounce is accompanied by a "sching, sching"
sound that resembles coins in your pocket.  I was careful not to kink the
cable and it is routed the same as the old one was.  There is a 4" diameter
bend just before the cable passes through the firewall to the cab.  I cleaned
the old, gunky receptacles and carefully lubed the cable in accordance to the
directions.  Suggestions?

Thanks,
