Nice looking VAC..!! Is that the reservoir, for some sort of hydraulic add on, there on the left side, by the fuel tank..??

What's wrong with it?

holy fuel tank

25+ leaks

lowish oil pressure

NO generator or alternator.. just an empty spot on the block

a few body and maintenance issues...

tires 100%

Guess I've done that a couple times myself to get them where they need to be, LOL..

They weren't exactly known to have a lot of oil pressure. When working on my old 310B, I read where 12 to 25 lbs. can be the norm, after warm up. Note the partial flow oil filter... Kinda' scarey seeing just a few those big coarse threads... I bought a case of 12 through Fleet Filter, and split them with a buddy of mine for his small A-C's. Quite a savings that way.

Always wondered about torqueing the heads on the right side. Never had to remove one, but sure doesn't look like room to get a socket, and head of a torque wrench on there.

So is the upside down spinner for steering from the ground..??
