Thanks to all who replied. The Chevron Techron ought to be good - it's more
than double the price of many of the others, and treats 12 gallons. Engine
detailing - looks like it will be something for me to work on during the
weekends of the long Indiana winter. Maybe by next spring I'll have her
looking better.

I like BG's 44K not sure where you can purchase it.. second choice is SeaFoam

When it comes to engine bay cleaning I like to use a do it your self car wash
and pressure wash the engine bay.. the one I use has Simple Green for the
detergent.. then I take it home polish up the A/C lines with some metal polish
and then use some engine detailer to make the engine shine..
