Re: Oil type for a stock 41

Thanks for all the replies. The motor was rebuilt about 10-15 years ago, and has prolly only 500-600 miles on it. It was restored by my wife's grandpa and he passed away 8 years ago, since then I've only driven it twice. I started working on it today to get it in shape for the show. I charged the battery and fired it up, I must have junk in the needle valve because it is blowing black smoke and the carb is overflowing. I pulled a wheel cyl and took it to the local napa and they said that it is from a 53 chevy, so I ordered 2 complete cyl and 2 rebuild kits. So now I gotta get the brakes back together and move it from the small garage to the big garage then pull the carb, change the oil, and start cleaning.
