@Chungas Revenge just noting the obvious but you have an excellent painter. The 1955-57 Ford Thunderbird catalogs have a nice red needle paint but clearly most hot reds will work.
PS: thank you for the link to the tach…..just cost me $321…had to get one for each, they get jealous if I take...
@charliemeyer007 I took your recommendation to heart but found Mystic JT-6 in several varieties and formulations. It seems like a very good lubricant and I would use it on all of my other joints, human ones too since they’re also a bit stiff (haha).
Which might you suggest? That Lithium based...
that is the beauty of individual choice….if this is what you want and can do by all means go for it. Both my FJ40 and FJ45 have winches. The most “exercise” they may see is helping someone else out of a situation. I’m not planning to get stuck but it does happen. 1n 1975 I was with a friend...
I’ve never heard of the term Garage Queen before…but, my FJ45 is becoming one. I’d hidden it from the winter weather since August. It also had a Rough Country winch on it when I got it and the one thing I read recently is….you should lube the wire cable occasionally if it is rarely utilized...

Our Chevy suburban came with the bigger 6.1l engine and the manual says the same things. We’ve never gone over 16 mpg locally but …went to Orlando from NJ and my son drives at 80mph. I assumed the mileage was going to really suck…instead, we were cruising around 21-22 miles per gallon. Never...
@wngrog i failed to mention earlier…..that photo of the Sniper screen is a charm. It is purring nicely and your voltage problem is gone. If you have a distributor tied into the Sniper, would the display indicate your timing as the engine demands advance or retard?
