    Decoding a Broadcast Sheet

    Early 80's late 70's they went from broadcast sheets to bingo sheets and were only good for your section of assembly, we were getting older and needed larger print .. I can only speak for trim assembly but you would of need a binder to hold all the bingo sheets that were used .. broadcast...

    Oil for my 318.

    I've been lurking with interest in this thread and wonder if anybody considered diesel engine oil .. from my limited web searches they're supposed to contain ZDDP .. even tho they are reducing it there also .... just putting it out there unless there is a reason our engines can't use diesel...

    What happened

    Update .... mileage is up to 19 mpg. and I'm still waiting on the new air filter ... I might just break the 20 mpg. .... this is all city and county driving ... 20 min. into the city .. 20 min. stop-n-go .. 20 min. home. That's a usual trip for me.

    Do I have reason to be concerned?

    Thanks ... it's not a show car by any means .. I just don't want it to look like Fbody's example, and if grounds stop it from further leakages .. great !! I know newer cars benefit from extra grounds .. never thought it for older cars tho. The '81 J body I looked at before this car had all 3, 1...

    Do I have reason to be concerned?

    Thanks BudW ... I'm still going to ground strap them .. the more grounds the better anyways.

    Do I have reason to be concerned?

    Do I have reason to be concerned?

    Thanks everyone .... BudW .. the previous owner had a spare box he gave me .. I got to dig it out and keep it in the car .. slant6billy .... I now know what my next project will be, I have some spare 12g wire .. would that be heavy enough? I do hope that's the fix. I've seen some ign. boxes...

    Do I have reason to be concerned?

    LED Replacements for Headlights

    Yeah ... European specs were much stricter than N.A. .. so much so that we actually used different aiming devices if they were shipped overseas.

    Seat belt malfunction

    Yeah thanks everyone .. when I took the cover off the pin that holds the belt in place fell and the cam that actuated it was in pieces ... I noticed that the weight was still there to help in sudden stops .. so all is good .. I got a clip to hold it at the right length and am working with that...

    What happened

    Thanks BudW .. it's for the idle mixture procedure .. it's just temporary for setting it .. I'm just going over everything b/c 15mpg city/highway doesn't seem right with premium Shell gas and a /6. I thought the choke issue was the problem but with that better I'm looking elsewhere.
