Ok thanks. I just use it in the summer months but I wasn't sure about using synthetic or conventional oil.

The car and engine are original. 40,000 mi survivor.

Hey guys I have a 63 1/2 Galaxie 500 with a 352 engine. Is 15 -40 weight oil ok to use in it? I think that is what is in it now I just got it so I want to be sure. thanks,Jim

Thanks for the comeback. I am going to take the old one to a radiator shop and have them repair it but until then I'll put it back together with the new one and drive it.

I replaced my oil return tube about a year ago or less and it still leaks like crazy. Turns out that the one end of the tube was not brazed or soldered properly at the factory so I just got another one with washers and 2 rubber gaskets. Does it matter which washers I use Brass or Copper? I got...

Hi welcome to the club. We live about 2 mi. from the Antique Automobile Museum near Hershey,Pa. We are always looking for others to cruise around with. I have a 1930 Tudor Sedan. I am waiting for a couple of distributor parts and it will be up in running.

I'm on my 3rd shut off valve under the dash in less than 2 years. I've had it with it. Everyone so far has not leaked on the floor but they don't fully close and gas gets through to the carb and leaks all over the garage floor and the fumes are unbearable. It doesn't matter what vendor I get...

Thanks. I got it out I might not have had the screw loose enough.

A couple of weeks ago I started up my '30 Tudor and it ran perfectly fine for about 10 minutes then it just quit like it would if it was out of gas. No sputtering or anything. I checked the tank for gas and I have 4 inches in it. I have juice all the way to the ignition cable that screws in to...

It looks a good bit like mine. Mine might be just a tad more greenish.

I've been putting a bar of Irish Spring right by the hole in the floor where the clutch pedal goes through and never had a single mouse. I might put one under the passenger seat also.

Thanks. I am going to do the easiest thing first by replacing the oil pipe gaskets. Do I have to drain the oil to change them? I figured not cause all the oil would be settled down in the pan.

Thank you bav Arian, I will try the cork ones.

Anyone know which is the best oil pan gasket material to use, cork or paper? I haven't dropped my pan yet and I am not one hundred percent sure I need new gaskets but I have a lot of oil leaking between the oil return pipe and the top of the oil pan. I think it's coming from either the oil pipe...

Ok thanks.
