I've had multiple goes at this over different motor and ignitions. The current motor is the only one I've been able to run vac advance on - but whilst I can see it knocks the idle timing wildly I cant say I notice any driving difference to when its locked in. It certainly aint economical :-k
Anyway ...

Re: Rear window corner trim 68-70 Charger
These tend to be like rocking horse poo.
There was a repro house did the whole set a while ago - the entire rear window - but wasnt cheap.
I realise that isnt helpful; but it might be cheaper to refinish what you have

Re: Raising car on 4 axle stands
That made my legs go cold reading that.
I am always super careful too - watching people just 'duck under' whilst just on the jack. nononononono
Pete, as ever, bang on. To get the thing up, let the rear axle do the pivot. Personally, soon as I can, I get the stands under the 'box rails' (the bits ...

Re: Antifreeze.
Had 2 lots of Prestone in the new engine and it seems to go rusty real fast - its now brown opaque rather than bright yellow.
I do have Ally heads now - so wondering if if got the hump with that somewhere down the line.
Rad /block was flushed etc prior to install.
Whats the current thinking team ...

Re: Valvoline VR1
Immediate thought is "Change it anyway" - just sitting they take on moisture etc - I change mine at LEAST once/yr.
Sometimes it comes out clear ! Less than the price of a fill up - its small beans. Just change it anyway.

I switched to big-Bosches. Will crank forever and fit the tray nicely. Not the cheapest but nice warranty too.

Pretty sure I got my last Lucas at the oil place at Bicester scramble.
Opie oils very good rep - I used to know the owner through cars - he was on the RX8 committee in the early days.

Re: Fuel line replacement
I've just done all my fuel lines with flexis and a mechanical pump (carter).
In line cartridge filter; earls fittings throughout - lovely job and perfectly man enough for my 475hp through a carb.
Dont overthink it if your setup is simple. (I'll fit the return if I ever fit the EFi)
