OK, found this dude, he want $48 for 3 kgs of this unicorn serum/00 grease, Did anyone get a better price than that?

Yea an Albion box is not the same as a Burman box.
This is where I found out about the grease thing.

And I got it wrong up there, its supposed to be 50 wt oil, and this grease.

I recently found it out after playing with the albion boxes in the garage and doing research, but have been too lazy to try it. Apparently 50/50 mix of old school spec grease and 90 wt gearbox oil is the go. Pretty much the same for all old British boxes. Apparently though if it can't hold the oil component of the mix for a week it's time for a rebuild.
Cut and weld the head tube. More rake the better TBH, Mine as quite a bit, and Tom's has a hole bunch less, needless to say his is sketchy at speed and mine isn't.
I heard the best thing to do with a C4 was replace it with a built powerglide then add Max churbros and do bulk skids, could be wrong though....
Good work on this btw.
a scratch start tig is the worst abomination on the face of the planet.
the first thing you have to do before you start welding with one is fuck your electrode. i fucking hate them.
Ive used them for so long now its what im used to. I recently used a HF start TIG and would certainly go this way if I was purchasing. Its seems to be a standard feature now.
The only reason I ask is because I already have a good arc welder, and it seems quite reasonable to buy a hand piece for it. From what I can gather they seem like the industry standard for boilermakers/pipe fitters working outside etc.
It's got a china spec pit bike carb on it, so no diawham. And it was vibrating the idle screw in, but I doubt this is the problem, it used to start like a champ, and now it doesn't, black magic I say.
Those victas are really reliable last time I heard.....
Anyway, We know nothing about this motor. I had a quick look for timing marks but found none, so we are just winging it. I think the only thing for it is to keep playing with the timing, but it seems odd that it was running and now it isn't.
I had to go to the cop shop and get them to do a no police interest request or some such thing, anyway it just says the the body tag number is not of interest to the police (EG not stolen), and that with your "receipt" you should be fine.
^ Yea, na, that's not the problem. Flywheel has been off half a dozen times, timing adjusted, points regapped, wiring double checked, condenser replaced, coil replaced. Nothing helped.
Good work Bairdy. What fuel are you planning on using?
Have you seen this?
That's a stock 2jzge+t on e85 through a big stalled converter, so probably making ~700 at the fly. Pretty impressive, but probably not what you are going for.
Also 2jz's love head porting, they did one on PF and it came on boost ~600 rpm earlier and made a bunch more power.
