Just a thread to brag and suggest and take advice: Spring Time...what I did and what you suggest.

I changed the oil, torqued the head bolts, checked the rear, trans and radiator. I jacked up the wheels and adjusted the brakes. Lubricated the grease fittings, and the distributor points. I actually crawled under the car and spun and lubricated all the clevis pins in the brakes and other areas and lubricated the emergency brake pawl. I want to check the "banjo" bolts in the rear...if you have not checked these please do this...it's in the Red Book and they are often loose. My still pending job...

I think I am ready ready for summer 2025...your thoughts are welcome as we all need help.
