Re: 1963 F85 215 V8
I could be mistaken, but I believe it was an alcohol solution, and that you could get it from GM in a container with a part number. My Cutlass parts books are 64 + up so I can't look it up.

Re: 1963 F85 215 V8
-------Yup, John,,,That stuff used to be referred to as "moose-milk". I had a low mile 1963 Jetfire a long time ago and an older longtime Olds mechanic referred to that stuff that way. I dont know the makeup of it but know it did contain alcohol along with other stuff........Bill S

Re: 1963 F85 215 V8
-------That is the correct engine configuration, TC. The rare Cutlass to have in 63 would have been a 4-speed. They pop up now and then but not often do you find a good one. The automatics in these 62/63s were awful. Anybody who has ever driven one will agree with me. The reason I have any interest in these size GM cars at all is the size. The GM compacts should have stayed this size as far as I am concerned. Can you imagine if they had and the power kept on escalating. Oh well,,,I guess thats progress........Bill S
