Curious as well! I believe those are cityracer wheels, but they seem like a darker grey than the website photos..

 

[wngrog]

City Racer gray.

I remember reading somewhere that engine oils that contain zinc are not recommended for engines that run a catalytic converter. Can't recall where or when I came across this info though. Is this accurate?

No idea. Never heard of that.

Tom Woods 1310 with about 3000 miles on it. I can’t tell what happened actually.

I’m just amazed when it went nose first into I40 it did not shove my brand new Harrop out the back


@wngrog. . .do I have a story for you! Four 15 year olds, a 1978 Ford LTD Landau, a bunch Jaegermeister & Everclear, and a huge pine stump=)

It does form a phosphate coating in the catalytic converter, and that reduces the efficiency of the catalyst. So maybe something to be aware of if you have to deal with a sniffer test.

So, in other words, it does not matter.

i thought Valvoline stopped making 20W50 Full Synthetic ?

It’s not full synthetic. It’s like regular lightbulbs. Works great in a 30 year old

300 Mile Mississippi loop today. Flawless except for the road falling out on me and getting my quarter panel. Could have been way worse.

Photo dump.

Any ideas what this concrete building used to be? From what I can see from the road there’s no windows, just vents. Located east of Yazoo City on highway 432. No idea about the building but a couple of decades back I bought package deal of two FJ60s from a catfish farmer near Yazoo City.

Backed Blue into the shop and went after those dents with a small football. It worked great. I got 90% of the dents out.
