Alright, So I am getting everything together to do a nice tune up, which by doing so, aside from good 'ole TLC for my new truck, I hope to alleviate the aforementioned issues. However, as I stated before, I am new to the 235 inline6 engine, as well as a set up quite so old. If anyone could give me a descriptive order of what it is should be addressed in a 'just got the truck, wanna make sure everythings nice and tidy' sort of tune up, as well as any shop manual info for the '61 I would GREATLY appreciate it!
Also, Novice question I know, but as far as the oil change, there is no filter, so am I just doing a drain and refill type thing? is it 5qt cap.? and recommended oil weight?
Thanks!
