In the past  I've had success by rutting the pins in my kitchen freezer overnkight and warming the rods in the oven to
450 degrees (about a 1/2 hour at this temp).

I have said, if it is blue, it likely has seen higher temperatures than 
what you'd gamble for. Here a site that lists colors of stainless steel. 
The steel the rod's made out of is different, but I am positive the numbers 
are within the ballpark and that those rods were heated to over 1000F:

TEMPERATURE °F.    COLOR
700-800 Straw Yellow
900-1000        Brown
1100            Blue
1200            Black

Hello
Just spotted a 10 spline 5.10 gears spool Olds 3rd member rear end with some ladder(lakewood?)welded on housing.
Local swap meet.
Stock axles are there but also some  others...looks like the rear was shortened in width for a tubbed car or dragster?
Any idea what year this rear was?..i thinkin 54 and earlier?
For $200.00 Can!
Also thinkin of my new 58 prts car...394..Dual 4s..spool,,cage :)
VVVRRRRROMMMMMMMMMMM  !

Ron - when did you purchase your '65-442? My Dad may be in the running a
June of 1965 purchase.

Another interesting way to look would be by VIN number - e.g. who is the
original owner of the oldest car.

Anyway just wanted to add in for fun!

Did anyone read that article in last months JWO about the original owner of
a 66-442 being the current "old guy" champ? We all know better than that so
I'm going to drop them a line with a pic. I seem to remember that Dennis
Urban bought his 64-442 new. Does anyone know if this is true and does he
still own it?

  Good thread no doubt...obvious that they were heated to install.

Big Question tho......  Would you use these??...or abort?


Chuck Kibler never discussed details while building my engine.

Thanks for the reply Milton,

I am not 100% sure but, I believe that the standard 455 in '71 and '72 had a 
compression ratio of 8.1:1.
