For the oil, use:

- Bel-Ray Thumper Gear Saver Transmission Oil 80W-85 (.54 fl/oz)

For the aso/r use:

- Harpers Molybdenum Disulfide (.34 fl/oz)

Not sure if the fl/oz numbers are correct (quickie conversion), but the oil types should apply. Also wait for someone else to reply, it's an oil thread so I'm sure we're all gonna participate. These are threads we all wait for!

And what the heck is a furlong anyway ? :rolleyes:

1 furlong=1/8 of a mile. 55 mph=147,840 furlongs per fortnight

So ... Imperial mile , or 'Murican ? :grin: So maybe the NHRA should use two furlongs instead of 1/4 mile . Wait , now that they only run a thousand feet for the fuel cars , what is that in furlongs :huh:

" Why my old Roadrunner would do two standing furlongs in fourteen seconds "
