It's been a long time since I've heard reports of any incompatibility. Castrol and DOT 5 should be safe regardless, but lots of folks now use other brands. Randall

I tried to check that out on Castrol's web site ... all it says is that "typical" dry boiling point is 509F. Only "guaranteed" performance is DOT 4, which means 446F dry, 311F wet. Considering that

Makes the steering a lot stiffer, in my experience. Otherwise it works fine. Made my arms hurt driving on the street, but might be OK on the track. The stock steering box has the bushing rather low,

That's true, but they can also have an advantage cruising at the speed limit. By being able to offer acceptable performance with a smaller gasoline engine, pumping losses are reduced. Friend of mine

Normally, the oil enters a spin-on filter through the outer ring, and leaves through the center connections. This helps keep the paper filter element from tearing. Randall

Depends greatly on how far it has been machined in the past, and how deep the current score marks are. If it will clean up by .020" under, it's probably worth in the $75-$125 range. If it has to go

No need to even clean them up, Mark. Just install the new sleeves over them. New fulcrums are available (Moss P/N 031-703) but they're a PITA to change. Leave them alone unless their physical streng

On my 3A it just bolted right up. Adjusted the clevis and was done. ISTR the 4A didn't have the adjustable clevis, so using the earlier pushrod and clevis might be an easy fix. Randall

Tim, you're assuming the alternator only has two poles. Real units have more than two poles, typically 10 or 14. I have had to add capacitors to auto stereos, to eliminate "alternator whine". Recent
