I have a 51 1/2ton Chevy with a 54 Chevy 235 that's VERY tired. It needs a total rebuild and I do not have the money to do that right now. My immediate problem is the plugs foal quickly even though I do try to get it out for a drive around town a few times each week. I have taken it out for longer drives thinking that might blow it out a little better put she immediately starts misfiring and I end up limping home, pulling the plugs to clean and re-gap them, and hope that she'll fire up the next time. I've rebuilt the Rochester carb to at least give the engine a fighting chance, but it really needs the engine overhaul.
Anyone out there have any suggestions as to how I can extend the engine life a little longer (i.e. oil I should be using, any engine additives I can use, etc.)? Thanks.
