Hey there everyone,
Well I've always liked the look of the 140 series cars an searched the local Craigslistings an found a guy selling his 1974 144 with a manual 4speed an original b20 that's been converted over to dual side draft carbs.
The guy needed to sell the car cause him an his gf an boy were moving to NYC. Went an looked at the car thought about it for a few days an bought it!
So it's been maintained by Matt at X-Ray auto in Seattle an was owned by him for a time. But I haven't been able to get in touch with him so I'm asking you guys these questions!
1st question: what oil should I use in this thing? I'm a Mobil guy whether conventional or synthetic I use Mobil. Should I run a zinc additive in the car? I use red line if I should so.
2nd: what oil goes in the manual transmission gear box? Gl-3 or gl-4 gear oil or type f?
3rd: type of gear oil in the rear diff?
4th: what type of coolant?
Thanks you guys!
