  1. Can you take the packing nut off and repack it?
  2. Hagerty allows you and in fact encourages you to drive your car. Most companies limit your drives to club sponsored events. Careful if you go for ice cream or to the auto parts store. Not so with Hagerty.
  3. I am not familiar with the Idle Load Compensator. I have that same car and the idle is higher than what you would expect. What is the rpm in park? Roger
  4. My 40 Special has no problem doing 50 to 60mph. It has 410 ratio and when I checked it with a tach at 50 mph it was 2250 rpm. Not too bad and hills are no problem. Sure the Century or Roadmaster would be better but who wants to drive interstates all day? I kinda think the 248's get a bad rap. Roger
  5. I did not try Bill Hirsch but I will. Thanks, Roger
  6. I bought a quart from Car's and it was light gray so I returned it without any problems. I am about 45min. away which is great.
  7. Thanks EmTee I think that is the same color just brighter lighting. Nobody seems to sell that color. Thanks Roger
  8. I have searched for the correct 1940 special and it seems that gray is correct. What color is my engine. Photo attached. I hope. Thanks Roger
  9. I had this issue on my 87 Cadillac. The alternator was was over charging the battery putting out too much volts. Roger
  10. Thanks Turbinator, I will start looking at Craig's list. I was not thinking of that. I do scan Ebay sometimes but never any real r-12 is ever listed. Have not done much driving since covid so now is a good time to attend to any issues. Regards, Roger
  11. Open the bleeder valves and see if they retract, but they are more than likely stuck to the rusted rotors or brake drums.
  12. Hey guys, if anyone has any R-12 that they are not needed and would sell, PM me. I am not a BCA member AACA only but I do have a couple of Buick's. The 82 Riviera convertible has a very slow leak lasting about 2 years before short cycling. I have a universal certificate. Thanks Roger
  13. Keep the Desoto if you are going to drive it. Don't let it sit in storage. Nice car.
