Mine is fun lots little new tricks about the 400 I love mine. I news exhausts there cut about mid way. I need the Jack Vines oil pump upgrade because its time and I need to clean the pan etc. For 2500 bones its a great car. I start hee every day for about 20 minutes and drive her on cooler days as heat seems to be the death throng to these time machines.

It gets loud when it happens but the pressure stays pretty strong?

I have to get in it and dig deeper, I figured it may be the oil pump actually not accuartly working. I was going to use the Diesel to clean it out , but hadn't gotten to it yet.

So I had lifter noise and added an extra court if oil.. well it worked for a bit. Now I get a louder lifter clatter almost knockish...but then it will dissapear. I drove today no problem no lifter clatter or knock?
What would cause this?

Yea Jack I would have liked a crack at the other, but I like the black 55 it has black, grey and white interior a nice condition white headliner etc. But iim going to go ask the guy I bought this from if he sold the other locally. I'd Ike to see it. I'm more of a rat rodder I've been putting 40 to 53 Dodge Plymouths and Desotos back on the road for 25 years.

The guy I bought it from had a two tone white with a brown top he had already sold. I need carpet for it and the dash is down to metal so I figure painting it would be a good idea. No rust in the floor boards surprisingly. It was I believe a Oregon car as their is a oil change reminder from a shop in Camas that has the old Alpha number to contact.
