Be cautious about those repo dash pads.
The one (s) I bought for the 67 Charger were too short. In other words the end studs and downward curved ends would not reach the holes in the frame.
On the second one they sent I was able to heat the vinyl and bend it enough to get it to work. As far as I...
Many variables, but if you are running a basic stock 318.
(This one has 360 heads. Cop motor).
My daily driver.
Almost 80 miles a day 5 days a week for 15 years and across country twice before that.
Two nights ago it started running rough on the way home from work.
What I found.
This is the...
If you can get "original" ones out without "damaging" them I'd be surprised.
What kind of damage are we talking about?
Well, maybe lots of heat someway but you still are going to have to grip them unless that slot at the top works.
Hum.
New engine side.
I'm thinking that link should go to the battery positive via a connection at your starter relay.
Once the car starts it is supposed to be feeding charging current to the battery.
Check that first.
Had a guy at work years ago.
He bought storage units.
We could always tell when he got one.
His van and landscape trailer would show up in the hanger parking lot full of stuff.
Funny.
Legs at 10 o'clock.
Apparently, someone named Katie has an A body. (Car that is.).
Can we see the whole page?
You work drilling oil in Russia?
Don't they have Russians that do that?
Oh, yea. We are supposed to be talking about a 74 yellow Road Runner.
Sorry, I get carried away.:rofl:
I'm lazy.
Is there some way to find out what zinc ppm is in these oils in question now without a lot of work?
I skimmed the article and I see a few API codes from 2006 and before.
API Oil Designation/Brand Year Zinc Phosphorous
SH 1996 0.130 0.120
SJ & SL 2001-04 0.110 0.100
SM 2005 0.087...
I wrote that very badly.
I meant that oil rated for diesels has too much detergent. I guess that is possible.
Can't remember the exact reasons but it would at least be sacrificing oil for detergent.
Not good.
And I meant that racing oils have no or not enough detergent to keep particles in...
Rotella? For diesels?
I read that while that does have "zinc" the detergent content is not right for gas engines.
That's on the internet somewhere.
Like "racing" oils. They have "zinc" but not enough detergent to keep the contaminates in suspension for the oil filter to work.
And I just read...
What? The zinc stuff?
That's just my interpretation about what I've read.
Yea, I've heard about needing to start engines to keep seals "from drying out".
IDK about that.
So if you have a car that sits that might be necessary.
I can tell you that between 150 and 200 on my 86 318 and no leaks yet...
Oh boy. An "oil thread".
Mobile 1 full synthetic with STP for zinc is what I run in two LA 318s.
And a Mobile 1 filter
It's easy to get at any store.
I'm guessing the zinc is just for extra precaution.
I've not only done a lot of reading, I've got a 1986 318 that I ran for years with just...
