New Owner, Humbly Looking for Guidance
Guys - I'm blown away at work. Finally, as I'm new here and have been just hanging out ... until mid-week last week. I'd rather be blown away than bored though. I'm also downloading pictures from my phone and having some trouble there. While that's going on, what's the best place to host the rest of the pictures? I have a good amount of pictures of the Scamp.
Attached are a couple pictures, just to wet your appetites.
I got home at 4:15 pm yesterday, and got the car nestled into the garage on auto dollies. Then I've made a list of the things I want to get done to it. Please add your recommendations to a few items (below) from the list, while I finish with the pictures.
- Oil & filter: I read some oil recommendations about the LA V8's. This is a 360 cubic inch LA V8. I read that HDEO (I think that's what it was, and I believe that stands for Heavy Duty Engine Oil) was a good option. Like Delo 15W-40. Well, I happen to love Valvoline Premium Blue 15W-40 (which is recommended for my Cummins). Is that a good choice? Why or why not?
- As for the filter, I will remove the one that's on it and figure out what size it is, unless someone knows or has a good guess.
- Does anyone know the spark plugs to use in this engine off hand?
- Does anyone have a transmission fluid recommendation? A transmission filter part number?
- Lastly - Does anyone know the timing on this engine? Or where I might find the spec? And, is there a vacuum hose that will need to be pulled to set this timing?
All these things above, and quite a bit more are going to be serviced before I put this car on the road.
