Now I'm sure this has been hashed out A LOT, but I'd like some 
individual testimonials on what weights and brands of engine oil, tranny 
fluid (no o/d), and rear end fluids.  I've heard about 5 different 
weights for transmission fluid alone.  I have a 72 with a 1300, 3 rail 
tranny, and a 76's 3.89 differential.

Also what brand of spark plug do you guys use.  I went down to my 
NAPA store late last night searching through the books and got all the 
OEM plug numbers.  Tell me what you guys are running and I'll compare.  
I'm leaning towards Bosch Platinums.  Oh incidentally when I do all my 
work next week I'll be putting a sport coil and electronic ignition so 
suggested gaps would also be helpful.

Thanks for all the advice, I hope I'm not abusing my use of the list :)
