Can 110 octane lead racing fuel be used in a 707B engine? This is the only non ethanol gasoline available in my area.

Plz email me the info to: m_anello@cox.net Thanks!

Terrific looking 'C' s!

I have a breather on each valve cover...

Where is the crank vent tube located?

Where is the crank vent tube?

The leak down....lol.

That was my thoughts exactly...

I've got a 1958 707B that's pushing a bit of oil from the breathers that gets the valve covers moist after running it for a couple of miles. .The breathers have been cleaned and I don't believe I have an overfill scenario (oil on stick is below upper mark but stick is kind of bowed), The engine runs good and strong with and occasional backfire pop on decel. There is a small crack in the rear head casting on drivers side at the #4 just above and next to the capped spark plug hole. This is a single ignition and the crack is on the iron casting and shows a very light oil seep after running it. Any thoughts from those who have dealt with these types of issues on those old 707 gasoline engines?

I assume pump guages and pump levers are gone?

Thanks!

After F.D.N.Y. was done with it in 1975, Rural Metro FD bought it and assigned it to Green Valley, AZ after painting it lime yellow! It went to private collectors afterwards and the man before me tried to get it back to an F.D.N.Y. appearance. However, the red is too dark and I will have to reinstall many items that are missing...but all in all, it's fairly complete. 2-3 years of work ahead including a complete repaint...

Thanks! At this point just need 1 complete lever and knob.......I contacted the Ross company and perhaps can get some parts to reassemble the dump valve so it at least 'looks' complete....Let me know who I need to contact !

That's the plan....trying to get one that is missing however...

Here's a picture of the lever/knob assembly...
