synthetic oil just burned thru my engine a little faster than the old conventional oil. the manual for my car [54 windsor] calls for oil changes at 5000 miles. i do it more often. the old filter is a mess to change and the filters have gotten costly. chrysler did not even put a drain plug on the cannister. why the heck not? i use 10w 30. capt den

if new to these cars remember the left side lug bolts are left hand threads. good not to let a tire shop try to remove them as they do not know this and will cause damage. good luck with the car. capt den

when i had mine done i think .060 was the limit. i had mine milled only .010 as i just wanted to have a flat surface. i have also taken heads off and put them back on with no milling.just check for a good flat surface. capt den

my 54 windsor is 4.5x5 for the rim. i have a 51 plymouth rim for my spare and it fits. also, the 235/75 tires will rub on the tie rod ends on the front. i had to use 225x15 to avoid that. capt den

dorman makes a core plug that you put on with a wrench and a socket. part # 568-010. they are about $5 each at any parts store. you may have to order them, or look online. they are supposed to be temporary, but mine have been in my 265 block about 8 years. easy to install with the engine in the car.

i have settled for the blind spot mirrors. tried others, like the swan necks but could never get one to be useful. i have spots on my 06 chevy truck, and on my wifes honda.they do the job and make driving safer. dennis
