Well the 15x40 rotella oil and the radiator flush fixed both the oil issue and the over heating problem. I'm buying a thermostat tomorrow for it as well. Now I have a third problem. The car shakes semi bad not horribly at 55 mph or so. I checked the tie rods. Everything seems to be sturdy. Has this happened to anyone else. I might just need a tire alignment since I just bought new tires. You guys have been a ton of help. Any input is appreciated
Does it go away when changing lanes?
Does it stop when braking?
Does it pulse the brake pedal?
How new is suspension, bushings. Is your steering dampner new? Is steering damper weight still attached?
Are your new tires scuffed on any parts of tread?

Raise the front end grab wheel at 6 and 12 and see how much "give" or how loose it is.
The only other reason you may feel the pulse is a warped disc.....which may cause vibration at those speeds.
Every single car I have ever bought to restore has had worn bearings or needed to be tightened down. Never fails.
