What I need is one of those Marvel Mystery Oil kits that injects MMO into the engine thru a hookup to a vacuum line, JYD so you have a New in the box one you will sell?

When Chevrolet began to oil the valve train with oil from the engine they no longer needed a oil can to be mounted on the firewall. There was a need to oil the starter, generator, water pump bushing, etc. so an oil can was still included in the tools. The can was not on the firewall and was going to be stored in the tool well under the seat. If it was one of the round cans with open nozzle end it would leak and make a mess. So they supplied a can with a cap. No not the machine gun can supplied to US military but similar. I will post a picture if I can figure out how to do it. I will first need to take a picture on one. Stay tuned. How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!

I also need to talk to you about something else too. But not today. MrsMack has the car loaded and is yelling" Come on , or we will be late again!"

I TOLD HIM NOBODY NEEDS THAT MANY CARS, BUT THE ANSER WAS, NO NO NO. I DID BUY A BUNCH OF NOS GREEN ARMY OIL CANS WITH THE CAP THAT SCREWS IN THE END TO KEEP THE OIL FROM LEAKING OUT. I FIGURED FOR 5 DOLLARS EACH THAT WAS A GOOD BUY. IF ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO BUY ONE LET ME KNOW. THEY ARE REALLY COOL AND I CANT WAIT TO USE ONE FOR MY OIL AND HAVE IT WITH MY TOOLS UNDER THE FRONT SEAT, NO LEAKING. DON BOLTZ FROM THE EVERGREEN STATE

The correct oil can from the U.S. Army has a socket on it. The one that you purchased was used on International Harvesters! :( :( :( :( :( The Mangy Old Mutt "If It's Not Junk.....It's Not Treasure!"

Hopefully you will be able to figure out how to post it on this site. If not, you can send the photo to Billy Boy Barker via email and he can put it on for you. Looking forward to seeing the photo.

See if you can guess which is the correct can?
