Blinker fluid.

Post by chad67 »

Couple of questions...First, I am going to flush and fill my blinker fluid and I was wondering if you guys run a multi-grade or straight viscocity? Also, what brand of wiper blade oil does everyone recommend?

Be sure to use multi grade when you have a 31 spline double clutch.

And don't forget to lube the disgronificator!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the lube point for the disgronificator right beside the refracticator relay on the side by the headlight coolant reservoir?

Also, lub the muffler bearings. Often forgotten and always a problem.

I'm running some very rare Hanford Nuclear Reservation blinker fluid, which isn't only synthetic, it also glows in the dark and if you feed it too much power, well, the effects can be thermonuclear. I tried to find a nice Savannah River fluid, but there was only an empty space on the shelf next the Mister Fusion boxes. That Hanford stuff is potent.

My wiper blade oil was drained from the coolant tank of a P-51D that crash landed in North Africa. Dad brought some home from the war and we've been rationing it ever since. You really don't need much of it to go a long way. If you're fresh out of North American Aviation coolant, maybe look for some from Jules Verne's shop. I hear they have some out-of-this-world stuff.

The muffler bearings were replaced with MagLev units, so there's no more squeaking, but there is a spot over the muffler in the bed that'll cause you to float above the truck. Still working on that one.
too many Fords, no where near 'nuff time.

or, money.

While doing these maintenance tasks at home, most of the time neglected is the adjustment of the Oastaperious Phestarus. Be very careful in accomplishing this adjustment as it can cause utmost woes.

Re: Electrical Smoke

Post by chicof100 »

Any one know where I can get some electrical smoke? No one around me carries it. I've searched the internet and surrounding stores, maybe I'm typing in the wrong description or title.
Maybe you guys/ gals can help, When ever I do electrical work there will be a small spark, followed by smoke. I need to put the smoke back in the insulation of the wire, it protects the actual wire in case it gets incorrectly cut.
I did find the "Spark" for the wire's, it seems there is a plant in Indonesia that sells the "Spark" but you have to register your electrical license number with them in order to purchase it.
I hate electrical work. It's a job I should leave up to the professionals.

I had an engine that I let all of the smoke out of. I was just going to try to refill it, but the smoke took some of the parts with it.

I have read that a lot of guys on here have serious trouble with their front suspension/ steering . Can't seem to get wobble out of steering. Seems they would know to change air in tires every 3 months! :D

Don't forget to reverse the hubcaps and the bumpers. Remember also front to back, back to front, not left to right. Even ware is impotent.
