I have a question as to the above comment. It's one thing to have a removed
VIN tag sitting in a drawer without a car that it belongs to, and quite
another thing to have that same VIN tag waiting to be installed on a
replacement body for the restoration of the original car the VIN tag belongs
to. It goes back to lawful intent. Sometimes, street cops have no clue as to
lawful intent. They will prefer to let a judge sort it out. However, PA
state law could also be weird.

Hi there,

Had a short circuit in the car. Discovered these nice fusible links.
Burnt the one from the starter to the horn relay.
The matter is that, here in France, they are impossible to find.
Is it easy in the States or not?

Thanks for the help

Bob, my '70 was built in February, 1970. 
I'll scan it and send it to you via e-mail, but you have to promise to e-mail 
me back if you see anything significant on it.

Oh yeah, I see at the bottom of the build sheet that the car was delivered to 
Roe Oldsmobile Company in Jennings, Louisiana. I wonder if there's any relation 
to Bruce Roe on the list?

Bob, I attempted to e-mail you a scan of the build sheet, but it got rejected

- ------------------

You don't buy them, you make them.   A fusible link is simply a section of
wire that is smaller than the wire it is supposed to protect.   The theory
is that the protector (thinner) section of wire will overload and melt
before the protected  (thicker) wire is damaged.  Typically the fusible like
is two gages smaller than the protected wire.  I.E. 16 gage wire is
protected by a 18 gage fusible link.

Sure, but you can change everything but the VIN.  The problem 
is selling what you end up with.  Some of us have other 
motivations.  There is no emission inspection on a car with 
a diesel VIN in some states, which will keep my VIN plates 
on the road for a long time (already 25 years), whatever it 
takes.  A 79 body is the same as an 85 for some models, 
but the drive train certainly isn't.  These cars will never be sold.

I took one 79 Toronado apart piece by piece, most went 
to recycling.  Anybody know where else the VIN might be 
stamped, I coudn't find it?  Bruce Roe

Not a bad score, albeit Ch*bby. Does it have a side fuel outlet???

Excuse the stupid question of a 68 - up guy:

On a 65 442, the only way to see if the engine is #s matching is by looking 
at the head vin stamping? There are no other vin stampings (on the block?).

So, if the heads have been swapped off an original car, there is no way of 
telling if the short block is the original one?

I will be back with early 442 questions...

Yikes! That shucks. If the heads are gone, the engine isn't numbers 
matching any more.

What should the cast numbers on a 65 442 be?  The engine and intake? The 
heads should be A, I know that.

How about the trans, if it is a stick? I think there wasn't any ID on the 
stick trans either? Only a date code?

Most of these Q-jet decoders are inaccurate when it comes to the 
actual application. For example, let's decode 7017131, which is the 
stock carb that came on a 1967 Toro, all of which were equipped with 
a 425 engine. According to:
http://www.carbs.net/quadnumber.htm

1. The number "1" is given as meaning: "1 - Two jet (2 bbl) Federal 
standards". This IS a 4-barrel quadrajet, not a two-barrel.
2. You can find several examples of carbs used on Olds engines in 
which the sixth digit is not a "5" here:

3. The odd-number "7" is given as meaning the engine had a manual 
transmission. While this correct for many examples, there are many 
more examples where it is not. You can't rely upon this seventh digit 
to determine what tranny type was being the engine on which the carb 
appeared.

Inaccuracies become even more prominent and obvious when you decode 
the later 1705xxxx and 1708xxxx carbs.

Bottom line: Chris Carson had it right: the best way to quickly ID 
the application of a carb is do a web search on the number and see 
where it's mentioned. The next best, not available to most of us,
is to peruse the Rochester carb manual 9A itself.

My husband and I saw a very old pick up truck that said Oldsmobile on =
the back.  When he got out and look at the front, the name said =
Prospector.  My husband didn't think that Oldsmobile had ever made a =
pick up truck.  I was trying to find out more information about it for =
him, but haven't been able to.  I was hoping you might be able to help =
us find out more information.  Please send info to =

Thanks for your time.
