Default Re: Tips For Model A's

Next tip.
When changing out an oil Pan or an engine, you will put a quart down the distributor hole and then use the rest of the five quarts to fill it up.
The tip is measure the five quarts carefully (if using bulk oil) and after running the car for just a bit and letting it cool, check and note where the oil level is on your particular dip stick.
When changing the oil later this mark will be important, and with so many aftermarket dipsticks out there the full mark could be off.
Trying to keep a Model A over full is an everlasting headache.
