Re: Petronix better ?

Re: Pearl Harbor
Marcus,
Same here. Not a word! Can't believe it! That's why I don't subscribe to papers or watch much TV. Oh well, at 79 don't have many more years to worry about it.

Re: DOT3 or DOT5 Brake fluid
I have used DOT5 fluid in my '48 F-1 for about 10 years with no problems. I also use DOT3 in all the rest of my cars with no problems. So, who knows?
