MM also built my 540 and recommended 20W-50. I am using Brad Penn. Mike

No commonly used pistons should make an engine run "crappy". Too much cam will. Mike

That is a simple style wheel. Repair it yourself, epoxy cracks, sand and paint it. Your local auto parts store should be able to mix the correct interior color and package it in a spray can. I did my 65 Coronet (first attempt) and it turned out fine. I went beyond and ordered a custom leather...

I think I may have one. Mike

Transgo kits are designed for experienced transmission mechanics. Mike

Since the compressor reduces the volume of the gas it can be transported in a smaller line than the suction side. Did you forget Boyle's Law from school? Mike

High side is compressed gas/condensed liquid. Low side is suction after X-valve thru evaporator coil to compressor inlet. Do some research on this conversion, I removed the EPR valve from the compressor and added a thermostat to control the compressor clutch. It must be cycled to control...
