Allen,
SU carburetor oil is sometimes the subject of differing opinions. The main
consensus is that for most street use you do need it. I have always run ATF
fluid in my carbs. Many people who have tried light weight motor oils and
ATF notice very little difference. ATF has always been a good choice for me
and should work well for you too.
The hood scoop trim just pulls off. Carefully pull it straight forward and
it should come off in your hands.
As to suggestions I might consider marking your tail light wires with tape
or real wire markers. When I put the tail lights back on I found it was
hard to see the colors and spent much of the time just experimenting until I
got the three wires lined up correctly. A marker label on each side of the
connector for each wire will prevent all of that frustration.

Hi Everybody,
Forgive the novice but I really don't know.
1) I read on one of the SU carb web sights that the recommended oil for the
SU
oil damper is 20 weight. I went to the Auto Store no 20 Weight. Where do
you
get this oil is it called something different?
2) I will be getting body work and a paint job done early next year. The
guy
doing it said I could save some hours by taking the outer trim work off
myself
instead of him doing it a $50.00 an hour. How does the hood scoop chrome
piece come off?
3) Any hints or suggestions that might help as I take of the chrome would
also be appreciated.
