    I know it doesn't need it but I thought about adding a Ampco oiler to my car. I know these were made for flatheads but thought it would be a cool addition to my car what do you guys think it's a '62 mercury with 221 v8.[​IMG]what are your guys thoughts??

    I'm just curious to see if anyone has tried these things on "modern" engines

    Anybody want to walk through the process on what these things do for me? Adds MMO under the carb?

    Your right it basically adds a fine mist of MMO through a plate in between the carb and intake

    It basically adds it directly into the induction system without diluting it in the gas

    Good to prevent sticky valves. I mean ya could do the same thing by pouring a bit in the gas tank. I think it's 4oz to 10 gallons. How often does the Ampco need refilling, is the rate adjustable?

    I looked at the eBay listings, they want $45, almost grabbed me, tho + $13 shipping. I'm not poor but I'm holding out, hate to spend that much on sumthin' like that.

    I have a vintage NOS Allstate oiler in OEM box for a conversation piece along with other pieces. When they installed propane (LPG) on my daily driver many years ago they added a similar top end oiler kit. I've never topped it up and yes they are adjustable,
