Slick 50 saved my sister's '66 Mustang when she drove it with no oil more than once. Don't put it in a new motor or the rings won't seat.

Use non-detergent oil unless you convert to a full-flow oil filter. Detergent oil keeps the dirt particles suspended. If you don't filter all of yoor oil, you recurculate the dirt through the bearings.

I did 70 mph in the Carryall once with 4.89 gears and 11.00 radials. It was a 3-mile flat stretch. It runs comfortably at 50 mph, but with no power left for hills. On the return trip from the 05 VPW rally we averaged 60 mph from the Iowa line all the way to Columbia, MO. Ear plugs were required.
