i have a pall who drives a 1950 ford which is plugged in all the time when
he is not driving it ...
and this is his daily driver ...
the flat head is warm always
then one step further
he has a pre lube installed that circulates the oil around once so that
the cylinders dont run dry
same thing on the gardner in the boat
pre lube
i will install the 110 system in my van this year
and give some thought to pre lube ...
yours
