use what ever brand of oil you want ( not penzoil ) use risolone zinc additive its the 3x concentrate and not the engine treatment or run a top brand full synthetic those are your options. If you are not sure talk to an engine builder.

they still had zddp in the oils though, now there is almost none. even rotella has brought those numbers down

x pipe for high rpm H-pipe for average rpm both help to balance out each bank.

just read the article I have been frustrated that my dart doesn't have hedders yet but after reading that its not worth the hassle thanks

mine did the same thing and it was the acc pump cam on the throttle arm you can buy the kit for around $20

dinosaur oil with zinc additive for the first 1500 miles after that synthetic is fine rings need to be seated before the oil switch

copper gaskets or ultracopper rtv is what I have always used I also coat header bolts with ultracopper run it through a heat cycle and re-torque and they wont back out

mine did the same thing accelerator pump was bad and my pump cam needed moved up 1 space pull it apart and clean it out 1 spec off dust can make a holley run like crap. I like holleys but they are touchy

Headers are a pain in the a#! takes a little bit to dial in your trans pressure for shift points I never get to see the back of ford performance cars people bugging you at the stop light about how cool your car is my 2 1/2 year old telling me to make the vroom vroom go faster guys driving...

Just wanted something different I don't use ballast, ignition is stock, dist has petronix electric conversion . I will still have key switch to keep steering lock but I like the idea of hiding a start button and kill switch.

my dart was losing coolant for awhile could never find it no visible leaks all the gaskets were good found it when I pulled motor for rebuild it was freeze on back of motor and it was barely holding

I want to put 70 dart on toggle and push button start I am not a wiring guy I know yellow is starter wire and im not using ballast resistor which is brown wire? would like to use relays also

not sure if 70 dart wiring is the same if it is I have 800 page manual on pdf I could send

I have hump and pedals in illinois
