Members HumanFuseBen Posted September 24, 2011 Members Share Posted September 24, 2011 Water Displacement formula no. 40. Thunder STOLEN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yanktar Posted September 24, 2011 Members Share Posted September 24, 2011 If it moves and it shouldn't, use duct tape.If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. and, yes, it is Water Displacement Formula # 40. Liquid Wrench was actually a better penetrating oil, but WD-40 is far more versatile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members madDdog67 Posted September 24, 2011 Members Share Posted September 24, 2011 I prefer CLP (Break Free) over WD-40, but either would work for that. I don't really like the smell of WD 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members charveldan Posted September 24, 2011 Members Share Posted September 24, 2011 I know this, before fancy electronic ignition every distributor had points & condenser, my first car was a 66 Chevelle SS-396, ran like a raped ape, but when it rained, water would get inside my distributor cap, i kept a can of WD-40 on hand, one squirt inside would displace all the moisture. I much rather prefer electronic ignition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HottKarl Posted September 24, 2011 Members Share Posted September 24, 2011 It works awesome as a cleaner for stainless steel appliances. Spray it on like windex and it makes them gleam like new with minimal effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I much rather prefer electronic ignition. Chevelle ftw! My first car was a '69 SS 396/375. 4 Speed, 4:10 rear from the factory, and with the dreaded Hurst mystery shifter . I missed 3rd gear so bad one night that 3 of the rocker arms floated *off* the pushrods, so that the pushrods were beating the inside of the valve cover. Sounded like a popcorn popper on steroids. Met a very cool cop that night who had the exact same car as it turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tore the 2 & 3 gear syncronizers outta my 4 speed, bought a Borg/Warner 4 speed that came out of a W30 Hurst Olds 442, bolted right up except after the swap the throwout bearing went, had to replace that, kewl project for a 16 year old, i had 90 weight gear lube in my hair for 2 months. My Chevelle had 4:11 posi rearend. Ahh back in the day things were made in the USA and you knew what the hell was under the hood. You can't touch a decent 66' Chevelle SS 396 nowday for less than 20K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
