You never see Vega's here. They were rusting the day the left the lot, and Midwestern salt ate the rest.

Hey IAfarmer!!!! How's it going good buddy!!!
I asked my Dad your question. And this is what he had to say:
"Basically, good maintenance is the whole secret. Changing the Crankcase Oil when you're suppose to. Along with changing the Transmission Fluid and Filter also. Valve adjustments when needed. Keeping up with the Ignition and Timing making sure everything is in proper order.Also always change the Oil Filter every time you change the oil. Good Spark Plugs and wires. And if your car has Points, make sure the Points are perfectly gapped and your Distrubitor Cap along with the Rotor are in excellent condition.And one more thing, always use a very good brand of oil. I use Pennzoil. But the choice of brand is totally up to you.
Well there you have it good buddy!!! Hopefully these tips will come in handy for you??? Take care good buddy!!!
