It's not so much the oil and more the compatibility of the additive packages. The additive packages control the multi-weight properties of the oil, and to a lesser extent extreme pressure additives that protect when the oil does shear, i.e boron, zinc, sulfur, etc, and foaming control, and...

You may want to look into shops in Yakima, Tricites or Spokane, Maybe even northern Idaho. Things are a few cents cheaper over here on the dry side.

In Vegas for work so on my last day of the trip I went to check out BTB/Man-A-Fre. All I can say is that I am impressed and I think I may have found my go to parts house

That is tempting for the next part of the project. The tires are so old it feels like I'm driving on square tires.

Yes, that is so I can run a vacuum advance dizzy. I need to take the old dizzy to a machine shop and get it re-bushed. I'm probably not going to put the vacuum retard dizzy back in but I am going to keep it in case the next care taker decides they have to have it.

But wait! There is more! I also threw the "amazon special" hei dizzy on the ol Sun 504 and made some adjustments to mechanical advance curve and vacuum advance curve. I couldn't get it exactly where I wanted it but it is in the ball park now.

Did you do the comp test with the plugs in or out?

Not much going on with the 55 this week. I had to pull down the portion of the headliner that had mice nests and then fogged it with some Meguiar's New car scent, not because that's what I wanted it to smell like but I had it left over from another project. I did however drive it to work today...

So not much going on with the 55 this week. I had to use her to pull my truck out of the back yard. The FJ40 couldn't do it alone so I had the truck strapped to the 40 and the 40 strapped to the 55. Sorry no pictures, maybe next time. The brake weren't feeling all that solid so it was into the...
