    Average 750 miles per year. What's the least expensive oil and filter to use for 1970 440?

    Use the best oil available. Unless you are doing regular oil analysis testing, all this is totally subjective. Not based on actual data. Heck, go to a mopar dealer and buy an "090" oil filter. It meets the minimum (cheapest) spec at the time of manufacture like pretty much any auto part. Cost v...

    Is there a “good enough” when lining up oil holes in cam bearing installation?

    So, my dad taught me that Mopar engines put way too much oil to the top end. He did have a knack with the BB Mopars as some here might know. He always did a bit of offset to the cam bearing to keep more oil down low in the crank bearings.

    Oil pressure

    The classic" high pressure" is better. Not necessarily. High volume is actually better. But one usually gets high pressure with high volume. The old standard was 10psi per 1000 rpm. Oil has two jobs, keeping metal to metal apart and cooling.

    Honestly, buy the best you can get! Small price to pay for peace of mind!

    Engine oil

    10w30 conventional oil in my 300J. Add ZDDP every change. Sure, Diesel oils have zink BUT, totally different additive package due to the soot in the oil. Stick with a good quality oil for gasoline engines and add the zinc. Or, use a specific oil for older flat tappet engines.

    Lead substitute

    After a 40 ish year career testing engines on dynos and in vehicle and having a slew of older cars, typically, our "toys" don't see enough annual miles to really worry about valve recession. And, if you are planning an EFI system if it uses an oxygen sensor to run "closed loop" fueling, any lead...

    Questions about this rare abandonned chrysler 300k

    VERY! She wasn't "perfect" when I had her. My first letter car 40 years ago. Great driver, a good starting point. The engine had a 440 375 hp cam, match ported heads so not too crazy but strong.

    Questions about this rare abandonned chrysler 300k

    Well, really interesting as I used to own this particular K! The SN is what gave it away. I remember this number to this day. Yes, white K, was a ratty red interior when I got it. Changed to black. Rather well built 413 by my dad/myself. Under the hood everything was 100% factory stock...

    65 300 4-Speed Non Letter Production Numbers.

    My 4spd L is certainly not the best driver! Tall gearing, heavy and why oh why did they choose the 10.5" clutch! 4spd C bodies are about as rare as it gets though.

    What was the reasoning/decision behind Chrysler's inverted C pillars?

    My 67 Fury I about totalled a 77 GM Nova clone. Got hit in the rear. Broke a taillight, dented the bumper on the Fury. Took out his whole front bumper, rad, core support, battery, grill, hood....

    Trans fluid .

    Agree on the Type F usage. Worked with Ron for years dyno testing engines and transmissions and yes, Ron knew his stuff! My 300J has had Type F in it for years and no issues.
