Also OEM Tools 25289. I think I got this in the dollar bin at Pep Boys.

That was Shell's recommendation as recently as a few months ago. There are no Shell/Pennzoil/Quaker State automotive oils with high ZDDP additive packages. So, Shell recommends Rotella. Despite recent reformulation, Rotella still contains a fair amount of ZDDP. But as primarily a diesel oil...

Agreed. My point was that since the Ford is brand new, running on oil not changed since 1958 would have put it out of the question. More like a Forrestal class. But we have our answer! Thanks @ACME SS.

I was thinking along those lines, except in 1958 Jerry was still a Congressman and the ship named for him 50 years later is powered by a couple of nuclear reactors.

The FS 0W-40 is about 25% Group IV, the balance Group III. It meets Porsche A-40 and BMW LL-01 specs, so really good anti-wear, volatility, anti-oxidation and viscosity index. I'd use it up to 500 HP all day long. If I had more money in an engine than 500 HP worth, I'd go to Red Line.

Mobil1 FS 0W-40. I believe that. My daily driver is my wife's old car, a '09 Pontiac Vibe. It calls for 0W-20, which I used when I got it for free. That source dried up when I retired, so I started using 5W-30 synthetic I have from an old stash . I swear that thicker oil slowed down that...

Good stuff at a great price. Probably the best value in a widely available oil that is a good match for our V8 Mopars.

Thanks, Steve. A few facts: Slant six engines are easy on engine oils. Open valve spring pressure is relatively low, especially on an engine with high mileage. High valve spring pressure can cause the metal to metal contact between camshaft and lifters. ZDDP in the oil is sacrificed to...

Will you be painting the grommet?

NOS and NORS parts on Ebay. Get a parts manual from my Mopar.com and get the factory part numbers and do a search. Also just Google the part numbers, and they may show up on someone's website of parts for sale. Here on FABO is @mobileparts who sells NOS brake parts, and would be a good first...

It was a blessing in disguise. Those were Hooker High-Drones that literally sucked out loud. My brother showed me ignition switch backfire trick on our old F-100. The muffler on that was probably for a semi. It was four feet long and at least eight inches in diameter. He didn't blow it...

Well, if that's not reason enough to put headlights on a relay, I don't know what is. Both times it happened to me, it was a much more obvious cause and effect. See the broken lead? The result:

Check your ignition wiring. Both times I had this happen (more than 30 years between incidents) was due to interruption in ignition. The first time was a loose coil wire. The second was a broken distributor lead. Unburned fuel momentarily accumulated in the exhaust. When ignition was...

I did one thing to my Federal/TRW pump, and it made a big difference in alleviating the symptoms you are describing. I changed the power steering fluid. I used a turkey baster, and sucked out what I could from the reservoir. I then filled it and ran the engine for a couple of minutes to...

Tony DeFeo, aka Uncle Tony, was/is a member here under the name white punk on nitro. You should be able to find his posts and read them. His you tube videos, including the piston flip, have been discussed at length on this forum, and probably others. A little searching, and you'll find a lot...

That's from before the last six or so ownership changes. I'd be interested in seeing any small print on the packaging.

A filter may fit, but if the manufacturer doesn't include it in their current catalog for a certain application, they won't likely warranty it. Even if it fails due to manufacturing defect, they may deny a claim because of mis-application. In the case of an engine that hasn't been produced in...

I think Dulcich said when he was putting the engine together, he wasn't considering adding boost. So I guess that's why he used a stock head gasket. He also used a cast crank and pistons, which Steven Brule' and David Freiburger though let go. Dulcich said head gasket right away, and was...
