started looking the car over a bit better, found that the transverse bars were bent. the long one more so. the short one not so much. can they be straightened until I find another set? not sure when they got bent I took great care to have the switch off and unhook the battery when I moved the care. perhaps I missed doing something else I should have?
I have taken the compensator out. the motor works fine, think I will repack the gear box though. Is there an equivalent to the Sta-Lube SL-3303 that you know of, I cant find a supplier for that grease here. will any synthetic brake caliper grease work? such as another product by CRC-- CRL 75353? seems similar......
on another note has anyone had any luck with fixing the wires on the compensator switches? the covering is cracked, wires are still fine. if I could repair rather than replace that would be good. a new wiring harness may be in the works all around.
as per earlier suggestions I pulled the spark plugs and I put some marvel mystery oil in the cylinders. will manually turn the engine over a few times. then I hope to drain the oil in the next few days. I have read a lot about different types of oil for cars in service...............but what would be advised to put in for the 1st start up in over 42 years?
surprisingly the transmission oil looks very clean.
"A" type transmission fluid to top up the power steering before start up?
thanks!
