I am on to the next little project on my Cougar. I got my carburator adjusted this past weekend and WOW. Smooth idle, pulls much stronger and my eyes don't water anymore from the running rich fuel smell. Now that that is done....
Starters: This is a 1969 XR7 vert, 390 4V 4 SPEED toploader. 9 in. rear and I believe 28 spline axel. (not sure how to tell if 31) 3.00 open rear. Cruiser
I want to change both the differential and manual gear box. I've heard that Lucas oil is good oil. NAPA by me does not have it. They have Valvoline.
1--Any ideas who might carry it or is there better oil to use?
2--Is the weight 80/90 for both?
Any and all bits of info are appreciated and I thank you in advance for your help and replies. Any little helpful hints or"tricks" to get the job done are also appreciated.
