Yes, John, that's exactly the point of the "diesel"
oil.  Cars that are not driven long and hard are more
likely to get condensation in the crankcase, whether
it be from running for short periods or just changing
ambient temps while in storage.  This condensation
coupled with the corrosive agents in modern fuel,
etc., worsens the problem.  

I use Shell Rotella 15W-40 in my Cummins diesel
pickup.  It's rated CG for diesels and SJ for gas
engines.  This oil is generally not any more expensive
than a major brand SJ gas-engine-only oil.

Just fuel for thought,
Andy

Hi All

65 300L

Need a speedometer cable housing. Also would like to find a speedometer
head or complete unit.
Another thing the car is missing is the roller that runs on the spring
loaded notched plate that holds the door open in two positions.

Thanks Harold

Subject: Antenna Templates

Just got back from the Iola, Wisconsin car show. Picked up an odd item I
thought someone out there might be able to use. There are 4 templates to
locate the location to drill the hole when installing an antenna on the
right front fender. These are for the 1957, 1958 and 1959 Chrysler as well
as the Dodge, DeSoto and Plymouth. Apparently certain Dodge and Plymouth
models set the mirror in different locations depending upon whether it is
a "Remote" style mirror or not. Also includes a 1 page "MoPar" diagram
showing the assembly instructions for the antenna itself. If someone can
use this for their project or just wants it for the information to add
with their literature and shop manuals/parts books, please email me
privately. My cost of $12 plus $1 for postage please. First one to respond
gets them.

Thank you,

Brian Frank
