Ramblin’ Man!!!!!!

By partsandlabor

So not much to report this week. Been working a lot, but the Rambler has been running perfectly since I put the engine back together. After driving it a couple days I went back and checked all the bolts, and none had loosened. But I’ve been commuting all over LA county everyday and it has been running really good. One day we had a heat wave and it got up to about 98 degrees. I was in stop and go traffic for about an hour and a half and the temp guage got up to about the half-way point, and my oil pressure light came on. So I’m wondering what that could be. I have no idea how old the oil pump is. I’ve been running 10W-30 Quaker State, and I also add a little Marvel Mystery oil. So I’m wondering if it’s just thinning too much at that temp for the oil pump to pick it up as effectively. So I will be busy for the next week or so, but would like to hear any remedies some of you may have for that particular problem. I’ve also put my 1965 Dart GT up for sale. Tons of tire kickers but no real bites on it yet. Anyway be back next week with more.
