Thanks for all the replies, I am going to flush out the engine and put in straight 30 weight oil for now. The engine is somewhat hard to start but other than the low pressure runs ok. All I did to get it running was new plugs and fresh gas. I will do a complete tune up and see how that goes. I have no idea how many miles and suspect it is just tired. I always liked to see about 40 psi pressure on all my engines but didn't know if the old six ran at lower pressure. Sounds like a rebuild down the road. Will add a split manifold and a couple more carbs at that time. Just have to hot rod it up .I want to get the body in good shape first but I probably will have to convert to power steering as I am having a hell of a time adjusting to manual steering after all the years of power steering.
