My guess is it was a return. Never heard of a new pump having fluid in it. That said, if it came from "Auto Joe's", you'll probably be replacing it in short order anyway. They don't call 'em "Don'tLast" parts for nothing.

I'd bet those things are fairly universal. As a last resort, you could most likely find one at the Men's Mall and adapt it to fit.

Look'in good.:thumbsup:

I can only dream of that opportunity. My granddaughter is only 6 and my grandson is 5. I envy you Mo.

Ahh, that might "splaine" it. Mine is a St. Louis car. Quality control left something to be desired back in those days.

Are you sure about that? Mine had the grommet and by the looks of the carpet when I replaced it, it was original.

That tac is a reproduction I found not long after I bought the car in Dec. '14. I forget who made it but I believe it is no longer made. Ebay might be your best bet...

I can't help but wonder how up to date that site is. This one has been listed for AT LEAST 5 years that I am aware of. That said, the price could be the reason. https://www.cars-on-line.com/gen3-cars/col1/posting/31809

I wasn't real keen on the OEM wood grain shifter ball, so I swapped it for a conventional white with 4 speed pattern. Hope these pics are adequate.

Nope, I have exactly what you are doing, buckets with 4 speed and console. All original.

Nice combo choice, but then again, I'm a bit partial.

Been there, done that Russ.

Wise move Russ. I didn't have that option. If I have to do it again, I'll hire a midget with small hands.

Oh oh. I need a can as well. I bought a can of #1177 "Dark Metallic Blue" a few years ago and it was too light . Maybe Herb doesn't have a good match. Might have to break down and have a pint supply store photo match it and make up a can. The color in question is the darker of the two on the...

Plybeep68 is correct. I did mine a few rears ago. It DOES make getting the nuts on under the dash a bit of a PITA.

I think this has been asked before, but I'll play. Rotella T5 10W30

Found mine on Craigslist. No red flags. Talked to the guy twice. He picked me up at the airport, took me to his house to see it an went for a test drive. Made the deal and drove it home. There are some legit ones.

I think like everything else, you CAN have too much, but you'd really have to work at it to reach that level. By that I mean use a high ZDDP level oil and then dump huge amounts of a ZDDP additive, WELL above the recommended dosage, into the engine.

"Best" is very subjective. Ask 5 guys and you'll get 6 different answers. "Best" is as mentioned, 5 qts with a high Zinc (ZDDP) rating.

That would be my guess.
