4Hud Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 We are working on our 1929 Chrysler model 75 and the manual says 90% Glycerine which I think is available at drug stores, it is a hand sanitizer ingredient, and 10% alcohol (isopropyl alcohol ?). Is this the formula we are still using ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFranklin Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I use hydrolic jack oil. If you use glycerine get plain stuff with no additives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4Hud Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 Thanks guys. The manual states; " fill reservoir with glycerine-alcohol mixture, 10% alcohol. Do not use oil of any kind." There is a lot of interesting/unusual stuff on the '29 Chrysler, we are having fun assembling this puzzle that was dis-assembled by others around 1980.

bryankazmer Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I think you're referring to Houdaille shocks, yes? If you mix up glycerin and alcohol, isopropyl would be better than methanol, lower vapor pressure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
