RE: IML: OUR HERO and FOUNDER HAS RETURNED to the IML!!

I always use one quart of Marvel Mystery Oil on every other oil change.  I
have used it in diesels and gas farm equipment and about everything else.
My engines, no matter how long I used them, never had bearing or wear
surface problems.  Do not ask me why, but this stuff either works or I am
the luckiest guy on the planet.  I use LubeGard in all my automatic
transmissions with the same results.  Just be sure to use the correct one,
red or black, for your automatic transmission.  I even have some 440's and
400's that kept the nylon timing setup until I just got scared of keeping
it.  When I disassembled the engines, they were in excellent shape.  I also
used Marvel in vintage racing engines with excellent results.

I love the convertible and would love to have that car!

I recently purchased a 1961 Imperial Lebaron. It has all 4 Lebaron wheel 
covers, at the time I did not know how hard they were to get now I am 
afraid to loose one. Nevertheless this car sat for 20 to 25 years in a 
building. I recently had the tank and radiator cleaned, replaced all the 
metal and rubber brake lines along with new master and wheel cylinders with 
silicone fluid. I put new metal fuel lines as well as new fuel pump, 
rebuilt the carb, and replaced all the hoses and belts. I have changed the 
oil and filter I put in 10-30 Valvoline with a qt of marvel mystery oil. 
Last night I drained the transmission and converter and am going to put in 
Dextron 3. Does anyone know if I should put some type of additive in the 
transmission, this car sat for years.
