i have had some excellent feedback from alot of other gearheads and i do appreciate what they have to say, if this is the kind of feedback i can expect then maybe i need to move to some place that respects other people.
Have a good year dbradley
Maybe he mis-read your post, maybe not. Either way just let it go Mike. This is the internet so you can't be too sensitive to the responses. I guarantee there isn't a forum out there where you won't get replies that you don't like. Take the good, ignore the others.

You know I usually don't let people push my buttons but for some reason dbradely did. I'm not going to give him the satisfaction of thinking he has that much power over me.
I'm here to get help from guys and gals that want to be helpful. Now let's start this New Year off positive. I've got to figure out how to post a picture of my Chevelle, I just finished doing a complete front end overhaul, went from power drum to disc brakes, new sway bar the works, man does it make a difference on the ride and the stopping. I always had the go power but no stop power.
Thanks for all the words of encouragement, this ole dog aint going anywhere.
dbradley have a blessed New Year and the rest of the Chevelle owners

Can't wait to see your pics. Remember, you can go to your profile page and set up whole albums of your car also. Each album can hold up to 75 pics.

I have been running Royal Purple 10w30 in my 69 Mild 350 for 2 years now. I never had nor seen any problems running in it my car. I really like the stuff and think its a great oil def a lil improvement in power. I run it with a K&N oil filter as well.

Thanks for the reply. I have gotten a lot of different opinions from people but that is what makes things work. I have 2 cases so i guess i will buy royal purple filter and try the oil and see if there is any difference in power. Will let you Chevelle guys and Gals know

There really aren't any 'bad' oils out there. Some might not be suited for high lift flat tappet cam but that doesn't make them bad. They all meet the government specs.
