Changed the
oil in the TP over the weekend at 1800 miles.
Oil looked and felt good, no metal particles on the drain plug. 9 1/2 qts. and she was ready to go.
Tonight I pulled a couple of plugs and it looks like the threads were coated with some type of anti-seize lubricant--seems OK to me. Electrodes the perfect fluffy, brown color. So much for the wives' tale that TPs foul plugs on the street. The plugs are Autolite 45.
Question: Any other FE guys using this plug, and second, my belt (want a spare) says "15435 Made in Belgium"--but no manufacturer name.
I saw on ERA's Web site a reference to Gates 7445 XL as a belt you can use. I called a few stores and it cross-referenced to some Dayco belt that most Auto parts stores carry. Question is does anyone know the exact right belt to use?
Thanks
