    DOT 3 brake fluid requirements?

    I was told by NCRS judges that DOT 3 brake fluid was required in a vechicle originally equiped with it for points judging. Is this true.

    Someone was yanking your chain. Or they are as dumb as a box of rocks -- no offense to any rocks reading this.

      Probably had to do with the wording on the M/C cap.

        And we need to also check for GM-branded Type MS motor oil.

            How about the correct pink anti freeze for 63-64.

              only if its the original DOT 3 from GM then its got to be worth at least 1 additional point.

                Please ask these knowledgeable judges how they test the fluid to see if it's DOT3 and not DOT4 or anything else.
