Diesel - Yep, I use Z-2 followed by Z-6. I GUESS it's a "bling" thing?
Hey, Ron - When R we gonna start our website - Oldfarts.com?

RON430

Gene - Maybe we ought to just let go by asking mkilty for a "seniors" section. We can start all those memories of 113 octane Sunoco 260 for 32 cents a gallon. Let's do the time warp again.....

RON430,

This old phart thinks he remembers a bit about "hemi" - Chrysler produced the first engines with hemispherically-shaped combustion chambers in the 50s - hence the term "hemi."

If I'm wrong, it's because of the Alzheimer’s so don't beat me too badly

I live in a condo building which includes a free wash every week. Unfortunately, the cars are washed in near-darkness by our "professional garage attendants". Need less to say, the windows are smeared inside and out (not to mention the rest of the car.)

I found that the trick to spot-and-smear-free cleaning of the glass is to use a professional glass cleaner ($3-4.00 at Pep Boys), but even more essential, LINEN glass cleaning cloths. They are also at PB, $4.99 for a pack of four. Perfection.

cablemanjones - Hard to figure out whether it is onset Alzheimer's or just selective memory but your post got me thinking. I am not sure any other US manufacturer did a hemi combustion chamber. I think that maybe a few of the foreign makes did, seems like there were some early multivalve heads that were hemis (Ferrari?) but just don't remember that well. Hey Gene, you remember any other hemi heads?

Here's a secret:

Car detailers use a sprinkle of salt to get out water spots on glass. Cheap and effective.
