    Default New formula ford basic questions

    Me and my dad recently bought a Crossle 25f formula ford. Since we are brand new to this we have a few questions.

    -What is the best brake and transmission fluid to run

    -What is the best engine oil

    -and any suggestions for brake pads and air filters

    -Also we live in the San Francisco bay area so any suggestions for vendors would be greatly appreciated

    Surprised that no one responded with any info. I recommend you find and join the "Vintage Formula Ford" Facebook page. We have over 5,000 members and it is a very responsive community where you can get lots of good advice.

    Ethan Shippert at Shippert Racing Services is close to you (at Sears Point I believe) and connecting with him would save you a lot of time, headaches, and money by shortening the learning curve. DM me and I'll send you his number. Also, a top notch human being.

    Hello Tim,
