Thanks for all the input. Changed out the oil and filter. Took the filter to the machine shop that bored and decked the block, installed cam bearings and freeze plugs, and they took the filter apart. The Wix filter was very clean, not much metal at all. Just what you would expect to see for a...

Found them on Facebook a few weeks ago. Guy selling them is the Chrysler district manager from our area and is happy not to gouge folks in the Mopar community. They were to go on another guys E-Body but Owner went another direction. Anyway, not much difference in ride height, and I really do not...
Picked up a set of Mancini Racing HD springs for 2 hundred bones - never installed. Going on tonight. Should pick up the girls rear about 3/4". Photos to follow.
