Fid, very nice looking car! How do you know if it has overdrive?

Terry or anyone what should the compression be ideally or range?

Konrad, thanks for the info, i will research your posts for the PN's.

Kaiserfrazerlibrary, Thanks for the documents. I downloaded them. I was told i would get a CD of information from KFOCI but they are currently out. I can order items 1 and 2 in your post from KFOCI then?

Thanks for the all info. Mine has a radio and is manual 3 speed with a neck-er knob, as i was told it is called. On the back it says Darrin Styled, I do not know if that makes a difference but found no information in regards to that. The glass is intact, just a reflection issue. Do you have a recommendation on lube? I assume i could use Mobile 1 in it. So the transmission is a gear lube. The car is in great shape, no rust and no dents.

 I have already joined the KFOCI club.  I hope to be able to get some hub caps through there. It came with some vintage Cadillac (40's) hub caps, i guess i will sell in order to buy the ones for my car.

I am not much on body work so a car like this is something i always wanted to find.

Hello all, I just purchased a 1951 Kaiser Special 2 dr sedan. Looking forward to getting it on the road. I need to get the engine running which I believe will not be to difficult. Has 52,000 miles on it. My question is what are some of the main things to replace or look at before i get it on the road. Plugs, wires, etc. Do you run leaded gas? Can it be switched over to unleaded? Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
