It's spring and that means tune-up time and questions arise...


1. My spark plugs showed definite signs running very rich.  My Stag manual
says take your handy Stromberg carb adjustment tool (something I don't have
but in the book looks like something with 2 T-handles that you stick on the
top of the carb and hold one steady and turn the other).  Any body have a
clue about this??   Is there a better (easier)  way to lean out the carbs?

2. Installed a spin-on oil filter adapter.  Didn't come with a filter, so I
purchased a NAPA Gold 1516.  Is this one of the recommended good ones or
does it not have the feedback valve that I've heard mentioned?

3. Manual says Hypoid 90W in the diff and trans.  NAPA guy says, nah, you
just want regular 90W gear lube, Hypoid is more like an additive for
posi-trak rear ends.   What does the massive wisdom of this list say?


Any help will be appreciated.
