20W-50 is too high to use, even here in south Texas. Your motor s not designed to run that heavy an oil, 20W-40 is highest I would ever consider, ever.

What weight oil are you running in it???? Actually those pressures are not bad, even at low idle. But oil type and weight are part of what one considers in looking at pressure and RPM/

360 with edelbrock 1406 carb set up. Good mileage, great performance, reliable forever. Low rev motor, especially if you can find a truck motor with a truck cam and valve train. good luck.

Those 2.4: Mitsubishi were know to use some oil - just like their design cousins made by Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, Chrysler. They all ghad same problem about oil, not excessive just irritating. Chrysler made it worse when they put the Fiat multi-air system on to it, made a pressure change that...

Ford Edge !! Nope, to many folks I know have had no end of problems with heir Edge, poc car. Four of four turned theirs back for a different model car/van. Lincoln version just as bad.

Because they are GOOD tires, better than Badyears.

It is just to bad then the Goodyear are such junk tires. Any white letter tire will go brown if they have been poorly stacked when new. Goodrich, Goodyear, Uniroyal, etc. will all do that if the white letter is not covered/protected when stacked. Oil from the black wall will seep onto the...

Only know one person who went thru the 2bbl to 4bbl 1406 edelbrock on a 318, loved it. Decided to do the fuel injection thing, Holley, ran it for about 4 months, took it off and went back to the 1406. He comment was it seemed he could never get it to run right consistently. Know he had a...

Forget what these are called and they do look good on most cars, but 15? I'd probably stay with 14, prefer the tire/wheel fill using them, but it is all visual preference. Good luck.

Three vehicles painted in past two years. I did NO body or prep work. 67 Barracuda, w/right rear quarter replaced, original color, and some minor work here and there - $8500. That was for primer, three coats color and two coats clear. 78 Dodge Lil Red Express - lots of sanding to smooth it...

But if the car was originally a 318 and you put a heavier 440 in it you DO need to replace the torsion bars to 440 bars, or hemi ones.

always interesting to read these responses. personally use mobil 1 esp with zddp for my 1970 361 HP rebuilt motor !!!!!!

Then I would NOT be doing business there...

GREAT reference, thanks. A lot of people should read this and try to understand what the dots are for. Cheers

my original one just died, period. So went thru 3 repro units from various suppliers, all junk either resistance was way off or simply could not adjust them enough to make them correct. Last one I ordered I got from Van's Auto. Do not who makes them, but this one was perfect out of the box and...
