Hi Pat -
It's my '55 Packard Patrician with its original 352. I've got a blog running under "Waking Sleeping Beauty....The Blog". This is the first engine I've had with the cannister oil filter. When I started it last night after a carb rebuild it blew oil out around the cannister. Right now, I'm running Valvoline 10-30wt. I'm unfamiliar with Seafoam so please fill me in.
I've installed a new water pump and deep cleaned the cannister this afternoon. Plan to re-start this weekend. Car had sat for 26 years in former owner's garage.
I decided not to try to run it tonight as I was tired and when I did try last night I was too tired to remember I never reconnected the vacuum lines to the big connector at the back of the carb.
