Just wondering...why a 750 idle? Awfully low....my tubers don't even idle that low. |

Because it sounds like "blop blop....... blop blop...... blop blop". The electronics hate it, changing to a higher amperage battery for when its idle. Yea Hammer JLB mentioned in another thread to do 5w40, I will run to autozone or something to see if I can find something lower weight than the Syn3 20w-50. |

Froggy, you can get the Shell Rotella 5W40 synth by the gallon at wallyworld for about 18 bucks. |

Max out the air pressure in the tires if your not confortable rotating the wheels every now and again. Definately run some fuel stabilizer through that thing as well. |

+1 on skin's recommendation...up the air pressure in the rubbers. |

re: low idle Are you getting enough oil pressure at that rpm? |

73 Firebird Formula I had my low idle on both my Uly and now the SS with no issues with the oil. I don't know how much pressure it has, but it does not trigger the oil or engine lights. |
