    Oily film on windows

    Anytime my Valiant sits out in the sun for a few days, I end up with an oily film inside the windows. Uniformly on all glass. Carpet/floorpan is bone dry, I pressure tested heater core, no funky smell or residue on anything else, just the glass. Any suggestions on the cause??

    Good evening folks, just had a few questions about intermediate shafts/gear for my little 340.

    Have my cake and eat it too..

    Currently in my Valiant is a built up 904. it has a manual valve body in it and the 1-2 shift is teeth rattling while sanely driving it, but feels perfectly smooth and appropriate at WFO. The 2-3 shift is pretty stout as well, but I can atleast smooth that out by slightly lifting. What I'm...
