Jim, Thanks for the response. I did not make it clear that the parts book in question covers all models of Oldsmobile, and all years back to about 1950. The number quoted is shown for 61-63 F-85. Re

Jim, Of course. It is 1353484. This is a 3-volume factory parts book as used by all dealership parts departments at that time. I worked in an Olds-Cadillac agency at that time. That is how I have th

This may be a bad time to broach the subject, but I'll go ahead anyhow. Are there any companies left who do welded stroker crankshafts? How about cost? Please don't ask what I am thinking--this is l

My recollection is that all U.S. made speedometers of that time period were calibrated for 1000 revolutions per mile. That means the cable turns 1000 RPM when the car is traveling 60 MPH. The trick

Jim, You probably cannot use the 300 heads on a Buick engine of only 215 Cubic Inch Displacement because the combustion chambers are so much bigger than those in the original 215 heads. To do so wou
