piston wrist pins scoring the cylinder walls

New oil pumps from Paradise wheels are an improved design, with a larger piston diameter for more volume and pressure.

False, the other way around.

I vaguely remember seeing something like this advertised in Turning Wheels in the 80's. I think from Brazil, or some other South American country.

Here is an in depth description, click on the owners manual for the RFX 5000 (second link)

False, I know of no stock automobile that relies on parachutes!

I think they are all wired. the remotes are very nice however, and having 5 channel output is good as well as sirius radio. Also usb inputs and Ipod too. all included with remote input jacks.

Well, you said NOT.....true?
and I agreed

Infinity is a good brand. nice find. I use the Rockford Fosgate RFX-5000. It too is a marine remote mount receiver. But, the bluetooth is optional.
No need for the built in display on the infinity, if you are mounting it out of sight.

True, except for the supercharger they were a matched set from Gates.

I think it's near Atlantic City New Jersey

True, the factory finish on the bottom side showed some of the weld marks and seams. A good rechromer would take care of that, thus making them interchangeable.

Computer Command Control......GM's name for the feedback Rochester carburetor

Packard was better for speed, and the Stude prooving grounds for things like hills and roughness durability, water troughs, and the like.

true some R3.'s and so forth had the B numbers as well as the R numbered blocks, and were stamped back by the distributor as well

I've seen both used. Mainly the lower profile single unit on Avantis, and the dual filters on Lark types.

popping out of gear is usually an indication of 1) either an out of alignment bell housing, or 2) too much endplay caused by wear on the thrust washers, 3) miss adjusted shift linkage, 4) oil soaked motor mounts that are deteriorated .

False. forged true was the manufacturer

under the head.....on the block

It was Germany

I think they say Alcoa on them.

Yup, I counted ten. I'm missing part of a finger so I had to take my socks off!

The big ole' tag on the front!!! the idle screw seal retainers, no top vents, no front vents no rear vents, the added sealing channels milled into the bottom to pressurize the throttle shafts, the numbers stamped into the left mounting leg. Aluminum sealing washer on the center rear screw. Probably many more that I can't think of right now
R3-R4 Packard?

Where do you get that idea? The R3 pumps were identical to regular Studebaker oil pumps, except the housing and gears were 1/4" longer.
