Thanks, Terry, really great advice.  As many of you pointed out, I had =
the oil weights reversed winter and summer, so summer, 30w, winter 20w, =
though the manual says I can probably continue using 20W all summer.  =
The oiling system is definitely splash at low speeds, with =E2=80=9Cdipper=
s=E2=80=9D attached to each connecting rod big end that scoop up some =
oil and direct it at the rod bearings.  At higher speeds, there=E2=80=99s =
a pipe and nozzles off the oil galley that aim oil at the dippers to =
increase the flow - the manual has directions on aiming the nozzles and =
apparently there=E2=80=99s a special =E2=80=9Ctarget=E2=80=9D jig where =
one can adjust the nozzles to hit the target, with dire consequences if =
they aren=E2=80=99t aimed right.  Of course, the oil gauge only goes =
from 0-30 psi, so we have a low pressure system here.

Steering - I re-read the paragraph and it starts with =E2=80=9Cthis is =
filled at the factory with a special all season gear lube and, to =
paraphrase =E2=80=9Cyou shouldn=E2=80=99t need to mess with it".  After =
73 years, however, I=E2=80=99m going to check.  It also  says =E2=80=9Cuse=
 a lube that will not =E2=80=9Cchannel=E2=80=9D at low temps or cause =
=E2=80=9Chard steering=E2=80=9D.  I=E2=80=99ll try 90W and see what =
happens.  You are correct about pulling the steering box - the =
directions start with =E2=80=9Cremove the steering wheel=E2=80=9D and go =
on from there.  However, steering is quite loose and there are three =
separate lash adjustments, according to the manual, so it=E2=80=99s =
probably best done on a bench.

Brakes - the wheel and master cylinders were surprisingly good, so I got =
rebuild kits, which look to be USA made.

While I=E2=80=99m boring you guys and gals with all this non-Triumph =
stuff, the manual has four pages on cleaning the upholstery, including =
categories for battery acids, blood, candy, chewing gum, paint and =
lacquer, fruits, grease and oil, ice cream, writing ink, iron rust, =
lipstick, tar and water spots.  Solvents for cleaning include benzene, =
ether, sodium bifluoride ( I always have that around), carbon =
tetrachloride, and ammonia. =20

As to the gear box, diff, and steering box.  Any good non synthetic gear =

A word about those old drum brakes.  If you have a really good brake =
shop near you, make sure to have the drums trued and have the new shoes =
arced (matched) to the drums. This will save many headaches in getting =
the thing to stop without pulling you into the ditch or oncoming =
traffic.  Also on the subject of brakes, if you are going to put in new =
wheel cylinders, no matter who you get them from, they all come from =
China, disassemble them and make sure that the seals are proper lubed =
with a brake assembly lube, and make sure that the hydraulic line port =
and the bleeder port are actually drilled all the way through.  Really, =
this is a thing.  I have had several wheel cylinders from big name =
=E2=80=9Creputable=E2=80=9D manufacturers that have not had the ports =
properly drilled through the casting, or had the bleeder screw seating =
surface not be concentric with the threads for the screw.  It=E2=80=99s =
much easier to check them first, than after you have them on the car and =
all the shoes/linkages attached.

Great car. a friend has one similar; it's taken 3 generations of babies =
home from the maternity hospital!

As for oil: something this old may require non detergent oil. My old =
tractors use it. I'm not sure when multi grade detergent oils came out. =
Probably one of our bunch would know. Or I can contact a local oil rep =
and find out.

I'd probably stick with 30w in the summer. And park it in the winter!

Great car. Enjoy it. And bear in mind: it won't handle like the white =
car in the background!

Cheers Bill

So, the highlights - the engine has no oil filter. Just change the oil =
every 2000 miles, more on dirt roads (says the manual).  Lever shocks =
all around.  Vacuum wipers, no turn signals (not sure about brake =
lights), manually engaged starter solenoid through a floor button.  =
Front wheel bearings are ball bearings!!!.  4.5=E2=80=9Dx16=E2=80=9D =
wheels, skinny bias plies (with a date code of 1984, definitely due to =
replace those if I ever go over 25 mph).  Right now the brakes are =
apart, shocks need to go to White Post for a rebuild, gas tank and =
radiator at the local shop.
=20
Here=E2=80=99s a question - the manual calls for straight 20w oil for =
the engine, 30 in the winter.  Should I run 20w, or 10-30?
Gear oils - straight 90W is what=E2=80=99s called for.  What=E2=80=99s a =
good non-synthetic?  Steering gear calls for =E2=80=9CAll Purpose=E2=80=9D=

Having fun in the garage these days!!!

it=E2=80=99s not rusty. &nbsp;Garaged all its life. &nbsp;I haven=E2=80=99=
