Sounds like it was a Pennzoil motor. Quaker State a close second; both are high in paraffin waxes and sulfites from what I'm been told and what I've seen & smelled from those motors 'treated' to a steady diet of either backs that theory up

Some of the van air cleaners have a single snorkel and a 'trap door' on the side that opens when demand increases...

Had a modded turbo Caravan and own a '99 Regal GS (bought new) which has a lot of mods...I like forced induction!

I have 4 of these intake set-ups I've picked up over the years. One I'm keeping and 2 are manual tranny set-ups. Use to be able to get them for about $80 complete (intake,carb, kick down, air cleaner, intake and exhaust manifolds). Looks like I need to have a sale...

Not to mention the german engineer who designed the slant 6 also designed Mercedes straight 6 of the '50's.

I've seen few slants that made that noise, then threw a rod on usually cylinders #2-#5. Bad oil change regiment-or my smelly-arse favorite causes-Pennzoil or Quaker State users was the culprits or just TONS of miles)

Wonder what some of our Aussie breatheran have done- hemi head w/HUGE turbo(s), MPI, running CNG, all kinds of stuff...

Last one I bought was about $80 with the air cleaner, exhaust manifold (w/exhaust pipe flange & 4" of pipe. Sawzall) kick-down and cable.

When I was a little kid, about 1975, a girl ran between two parked cars trying to get to her school bus, right out in front of my dad's car. Now being that we were in Germany, students are suppose to be at the bus stop, there are no flashing red lights, and traffic does NOT stop (if you do stop...

You and 70Dart are correct- a Prius does far more environmental damage dure to all the 'non-standard' production procedures and materials contained within. Modern vehicles tailpipe emissions yearly equates to a few MICROgrams. And for every mile you go over 100K, the environment impact rolls...

Never said 'all'- statement was a generalization, just like the overall figures given in fatalities per miles driven. 30 MPH offset frontal crash, I would rather be it a '69 Newport as opposed to a '92 Metro. No sh@t. But my '69 Valiant versus my '99 Regal in the same crash? Buick, everytime...

Gotta agree- yesterdays cars and todays cars in most comparisons are an apples-to-kiwis comparison. Not that the old A-bodies are rolling death traps (hey nice '66 Mustang- is that the gas tank top that is serving as your trunk floor? WTH?), they were quite well designed for their era...okay, I...

slantsix.org you can hear plenty of bad stories about dealing with Clifford now. From what I understand, the 'old man' passed away and the descendants aren't running it nearly as well as 'old man' did and alot of their stuff is now made overseas ("Go East, Young Man?").

Yup, sure does...:hello2:

I retrofitted a set of 740 Turbo buckets (on pedestals out of a custom van, captains chairs anybody? Really groovy,baby) in and belts into a '72 F250- know why? Cause I don't want to eat the steering wheel. Same reason I put good tires, brakes, and suspension improvements into my vehicles.

My wife got rear-ended by a Chevy van loaded w/sliding while she was sitting at a light and they were doing about 30-35 mph by the driver's admission. Ahead of her was a refrigerated box truck (International cab/frame), which she promptly got slammed into. Front and rear bumpers, crumpled. Right...
