Good for you, but I would not recommend it. Use the specified hydraulic jack oil and it will serve you well. Motorcycle fork oil it too thick and you will break the (expensive) links.

Set those radials at 35 psi and sit closer to the steering wheel (as your belly allows).

Service manual will show you how. As a test with the car on jackstands disconnect the linage at the transmission and run it through the gears at the transmission (assuming detents are in the transmission). While on jackstands check the pressures as outlined in the service manual.

Worn throttle shafts/bushings. Spray the area to check.

Crank it with the plugs out until it shows pressure on the gauge. I have found some of those engines too stiff for that, so tow it in gear for a few blocks.

Don't worry Ben, no pissin' contest this time:).

It does not and can not drain back. After a hot run with todays very volatile fuel the gas in the bowl will boil or percolate over into the manifold, leaving it empty for start up the next day. The valves in the fuel pump will prevent any drain back in the line.

Ok, let's look at this on your car. After it has cooled down overnight after a hot run, without touching the throttle or linkage or gas pedal, remove the air cleaner. The choke should be open. With the key off rotate the linkage to wide open and the choke blade should close and after release...

Explain how a carburetor can "drain back"?

The wear is on the bottom of the arm, so you would think it sits on top of the eccentric?

Use the original mineral oil if you are going to forever use R-!2. Use ester oil if you might later change to a modern refrigerant like R-134a, R152a or some of the blends. Use pag oil if you have a new and clean system and will use modern refrigerants. I like ester oil because it will mix...

What could go wrong there...
