Hello all , Just rescued a 31 Dodge /Graham had to un bolt spare tire rod trunion from fender .Key turns 90* and retraces lug ,but I'm not sure where the parts separate ( rust together) . Im in process of getting this pickup running and will surely have future questions. Some are oil wt. and fuel oct. on this four cyl. engine .

I am not sure to unlock the lock but since you mentioned rust I would saturate it with a good penetrating oil such as CRC's Rust be Gone. Doing that may help you find out just where it comes apart. Good Luck

Use 30wt non detergent motor oil,and the lowest octane fuel you can find.

Thank you for your responses . The truck is actually a 4cyl. Dodge so lock should be same as cars . I removed all seen rust with Rust E-Vap and last couple day in PB and WD 40 . With the fuel 87oct. non-ethonal is lowest I can find . Should I be adding lead substitute or something to it ? Tank has been drained and cleaned . Note on the engine and oil . Was told motor was rebuilt in early 90's by some one in Boyertown Pa. area . They may have been using hd oils as pan was very clean when I drained ,only slight film slim on bottom . Thoughts welcome?

NO to lead additive. These cars never had leaded gas when new, it was added when higher compression was used.
