Hi everyone! I love this website, I'm a long-time lurker and I learn a ton of information here.
I have a 1967 RS with the born with 327 2bb. All original, my family is the 2nd owner. My mother bought this car off a used car lot in 1969 and has owned it ever since. I know I owe you all a post in the main forum with pictures!
Can you guys give me a recommendation on the best oil brand and weight for this old motor? I think the valve seals on the driver side cylinder bank has started leaking a bit because I get some heavier blue smoke on that side. I live in the pacific northwest in a fairly mind climate so I was thinking Valvoline 10W-40 High Mileage.
Also, I'm going to be tuning it in the next couple of weeks. I have probably put about 200 miles on this car int last 3 or 4 years. It still has the original distributor (points).
Currently, I'm running AC 45 on the plugs. I think AC 44 are original but I don't think they are available anymore. Since I don't drive the car much, I figured the +1 on the heat range would be good to burn off the oil and carbon around town when I start it once in a while.
Any specific brand of points / caps / rotor to look for? I want something that performs well and looks somewhat original. (I don't want an orange cap, for example)
Thanks Guys!! Your knowledge is outstanding and I appreciate all of your help.
Kevin
