That is really a good looking job.

But, don't be disappointed or surprised if you have some drips or drops around a seal or two once you get oil back in it - that 's just about par for the course....

Just take a lot of pictures ... there will be something that the book just doesn't show exactly where it came from.

I didn't rebuild my own transmission on the '48 truck (it is basically a three-on-the-tree version of the same transmission) and I regret not doing it.

After three passes through it, it still has...

OK.

Take a deep breath.

You can do this. There are a lot of people around to help you and to point you in the right direction. Take a lot of pictures. Ask questions. Don't hit things with...

I think you got all of the good out of that box.

"I have an inline filter, just a normal aftermarket WIX like was on it when I got it."

The filter should be between the pump and the carburetor. Fuel pumps "push" much harder that they "suck" and...

I also checked the battery itself yesterday and at full charge, according to the charger, it read almost 13.5 volts.

That's OK for a battery just off charge. It will settle down a few tenths...

Here may be an idea. The oil you drained was really nasty stuff, but we don’t know its’ viscosity. It could have been 10W30 or even 5W30. You refilled it with 30W non-detergent oil, a good choice...
