Q: snoman wrote the real bev wrote it takes a couple of hours in fact. it also seems to require 2 quarts more than the 318 in our 1968 van too. dealer said huh jiffy-lube guy who seemed to know what he was doing said hed never seen a slow drainer. any ideas/explanations this should be easy to figure out. stick a pencil or the like up through drain plug hole and i will bet you you find pan it loaded up with sludge blocking drain hole. thats interesting. it had never occurred to me that it might be crud blocking the hole. ill check next time. that engine is old enough together with the quality of oil back then if it was not changed often that some serious sludge could be built up in there. the truck belonged to caltrans for most of its life and i assume it got good treatment as far as the running gear goes. the body is beat to hell but who cares we bought it in 1998 with 8000 miles on the odometer. not a clue about how many times it had gone around. we also have a 1968 dodge van with the same engine which drains normally. i would not try to flush it as that much sludge could damage motor is broken loose. if it is sludged up the best fix would be to drop the pan and clean it out if you plan to keep vehical for a while yet. the first of us to go will be buried in it! -- cheers bev oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo will give investment advice for food. .
