An actual gauge?
I always figured they must have just a view-glass where you observe the flow... or the bubbles after driving off on green...

I remember when a car had enough room to work on them, oh and drop your wrench or socket you picked it up off the floor.
... we did indeed ...
I could do that to work on the 351M in my '78 Bronco.
With the lift kit and oversized mudders, I barely had to duck to pick anything up from under it!
p.s. - I loved that truck.
In 69 My best friend had a 59 dodge same as in the picture for his first car. It was lots of fun.

I had a 79 with same engine. Mine had a 4 speed with granny low. Had to sell it when we moved into our new house. Had a 23 month old and one due any day. Needed a refrigerator and fence worse than the Bronco. I did love it. There is a place near hear that specializes in restoring those. I'm afraid to stop in and look.I could do that to work on the 351M in my '78 Bronco.

M? Is that different from Windsor and Cleveland?
Yup
The 351 Modified is supposedly a 400 destroked to 351 c.i.... massive torque.
Great gas mileage on the highway with the 4BBL carb (25+ mpg) but sucked in the city.
I used to go to Horton's every evening for a coffee & wound up selling her when the gas for the drive began to cost more than the coffee.

True Story, the Internet went out at my house, where was I going to get music?
The Good old FM radio came to the rescue. Now I'm up to date on all the commercials I've been missing.

If you want more commercials try what was only available for us po' kids, AM radio. And that was if you faced the transistor radio the right way.
I once had a company truck with AM radio only, the only thing I could listen to all day that didn't make me crazy was the Country music station, I wasn't really a Country music fan but developed an appreciation for it by neccesity.

That's what happened to me, when 80s big hair bands became popular. They called that "rock"? Well, the big hair and the dying gasps of (*choke*!) disco. Pfffttt.
Nah, I went country for about a decade, with few exceptions.
Call me a child of the 70s, I'm ok with that.
