Re: Possible LOW Oil Pressure Problem

With the 20-50 oil, the pressure is slightly higher at hot idle. The car makes no noises and does run great, but now the oil pressure light flickers, not on bright, at a hot idle in "D". Gauge shows about 10-12 , when I hook up the light it comes on. Wrong sender maybe? Brian I've had new...

Re: 66 headlight doeasn't go totally down

Re: What tires to go with?

I've got 225/70/R15s on my 66, and feel they are adequate. I already had them new and my car needed tires right away. I'd rather something a tad larger.
