I actually own a 65 Valiant, and a 66 Barracuda. The brakes on the Valiant are a bit finicky, but the Barracuda now has front disc brakes and stops on a dime. Goes real fast, too.Anyways, thanks for the good info. I'll start with the filter caps. I'm supposed to be getting a batch of assorted cap cans and hopefully something in there will have appropriate values.
Seems like everyone has some crazy story about a classic car - I've been thinking of starting a web-site dedicated to all those "the time my 68 RoadRunner got stuck on the traintracks" kind of stories.
Follow Ups:
The last Mopar I had was a '72 Monaco hardtop...I hit
a set of train tracks hard and the rusty frame practically cracked
in half. Too bad, 'twas a nice car.Along the way I've had...lessee...a '68 Newport, a
'69 ex-highway patrol Polara, a '69 Roadrunner, a '71
(six cylinder!) Cuda, and enough Darts & Valiants that I'd
have to take my shoes off to count them all.
I used to be able to change a Slant Six starter in a dark
parking lot.Any rate, regarding wax-covered paper caps, they're actually very nice
when they're new . But imagine what a piece of wax paper
would look like after it had sat out for about 50 years, and that'll
give you some idea the condition of what's inside those
paper caps in your Bogen. Also, this ain't like, say, a Tweed Fender,
so IMHO it ain't worth going OCD over.Hermetically sealed paper-oil caps like Vitamin Q OTOH can last
nearly indefintely, so long as the seal isn't cracked.
