CAUTION: To prevent possible wiring damage, certain precautions should be observed: It IS essential when replacing the cables on the battery, or when uSing a "booster" battery, thai the positive cable IS attached to the positive post and the negative cable IS attached to Ihe negative post. The negative cable IS attached to the engine block. Battery posts are marked plus (+ ) and minus (-). Also, If a "fast charger" is used while battery IS in car, disconnect both car battery cables before connecting the charger to battery. Do not use a "fast charger" to provide starting voltage.
which requires the following service attention. Two types are used -one has a wrapper on the carburetor air cleaner, and other does not. With Wrapper: Do the following every 6 months-inspect venhlator valve operation, clean filler cap, InSpect and clean air cleaner element and wash outer wrapper In kerosene and shake or blot dry. Every year-replace ventilator valve. Every two years-replace air cleaner element and wrapper. Without Wrapper: Do the follOWing at each change of engine Oil-inspect ventilator valve operation, Inspect and clean air cleaner element. Every year-replace ventilator valve and replace air cleaner element. More frequent servicing Crankcase Ventilation System.

close radiator draincock and replace engine block drain plugs. Install MoPar Anti·Freeze (or other high-quality equivalent) to assure cooling system protection for the lowest anticipated temperature in the area where vehicle IS operated dUring the winter months. The cooling system should contain a minimum of 400:, anll-freeze for proper corrosion protection. I n geographiC areas where anli· freeze protecllon IS not necessary, after flushing, fill with clear water and add MoPar Rust ReSistor (or other hlgh·quality co~rosion inhibitor) to prevent the formation of rust deposits. This service IS reqUired annually.
It the vehicle was placed into service after January I , 1965, the first required Fall cooling system service may be eliminated. With the approach of cool weather, however, it IS very important to test the coolant for adequate anti-freeze protection and InSpect the system for eVidence of rust or leaks.
Only glycols and synthetic alcohol (Methanol) are acceptable bases for automobile anti­freeze. Solutions containing salts, sugar, honey, glucose, mineral oils, kerosene or similar material should never be used in the cooling system.
@Coolant Level: Have the coolant level checked during each stop at the gasoline station. Add water to bring level to about I-~' below the bottom of the filler neck. Overfilling Will dilute the anti-freeze and also result In coolant loss through the overflow tube. CAUTION: DriVing in heavy traffic, at high altitudes, or In very hot weather may build up pressure in the cooling system. When removing the cap place a cloth over the cap, turn left to first stop, allowing steam to escape through overflow tube, then remove cap.
