Just look for the note "made in USA with global parts". Ugh.

Started with $50/ month back then. Now it is $500/ month. Growing quite well now. 30 yrs making 10%/year has worked out.

It was 25 yrs ago but local shop recored my heater core with no fuss. I was surprised they could get it "off the shelf".

Friend retired about 15 yrs ago from Food workers union. He had to get out before all the youngins gave away all their bennies. They want cash today!! Not for tomorrow. All this instant gratification crap. I don't have any real retirement so I have been putting money away myself for 30 yrs. Won't be rich, but will have significantly more then SS to survive on.

Like Uncle Ben, it was racist to have a black person on a a label. Stupid, just stupid what these morons today can force down people's throats.

Depending on distance, a quick fix may be good. Just get it good and warm to confirm patchwork.

Just got to reading this. My 300+ is an ESI, so I can post a picture of my mounting pad to compare to your 673T. I know there are some subtle differences in these mounts and oil holes. My old 673 I put spin ons but it was non turbo so I had to find spin on filters without the oil hole(from 711 motor) and no oil cooler.

Ok, that bottom picture is a top that could be used with a Triplex. The two horizontal holes in the front corner are for the shifter mount. Remember, a duplex has the compound on the RIGHT side of the main. Tri and Quad are on left side. A duplex would not need those two holes. So maybe the "early" lid was not universal fit. Yes, your brake handle would need shimmed up about an 1/8" to clear the two lumps for the cross bolts. I am not sure where they mount a brake on a trip/quad?

I'm just shy of 30k lbs. Not heavy but not light. I'd rather have more OD then I need then not enough. I can always run in 11th or 11th gear. Less heat and less power loss.

Currently 1800 @ 65 mph. But would like it quieter. The truck had 4.62 with the 673 and 2100 was 65mph. Ya, flat on the floor all the time.

Currently 4.10. If I hadn't found the double over I was on the hunt for a 3.50 rear. The old Rockwell is thin pickings these days. Found a few but too pricey plus shipping from far away. Rear had 3.70 when I bought it but the old 673 didn't have the power to pull it so I swapped up to 4.10. Wished I had kept the 3.70 or bought a 4.10 instead of trading it off. Oh well.

I will need to do some fancy footwork to convert to pull clutch. Either linkage or add a cable to the end of my existing pivot and loop around and attach to arm. Have arm hanging down and pull backwards. Either way is doable. Local friend has a B with an 8LL and said I can come up and see what he did.

I like the even splits all the way up. It seemed like a good choice.

It's double. .86 and .73(something like that). Per Eaton website.

No doubt. It likes the Triplex splits but it is going to take some fab work to make it all fit and not sure I am ready for all that.....yet. I do have to finish my racing season. Have to work on mounting arrangements, may have to change clutch housing? Push clutch instead of pull. Now that I have something to touch and see I can start with working on a plan. Hard to do that with just pictures on a computer. I had him put a forward X cover on it instead of a rear. It will just be in front of my cross member on the floor that I put in when I rebuilt the floor. It gives me something to bolt seats into and stiffened everything. A rear cover put it just behind the cross member(pc of 1" sq tube).
