Subject: 56 Transmission crossmember =?

Does anyone have a book that says whether the crossmember under the 
transmission on a 56 Olds Holiday S88 is that same as in other years? We 
went to install new transmission mounts and found was so twisted that the 
mounts couldn't match the holes! Bah! time to find a new one.

'Best,

Nanook

P.S. If you do have a book, I'd love to know what it is so I can get one!

Hello
I knew someone would jump in,,,my good buddy Johnnie did.
I know the brake shop has done this before,,they are a old time shop been there 50 yrs or more.
They do everythang from big trucks to old cars forklifts linings ect.
If the drums were too thin they would say no, as john said its a saftey issue.
But if there is something to work with they(D.V. Aldos) would be the ones to glue/adhere the new over sized shoes on to your stock shoes.
Lets face it even if my 58 frt drum brakes were new(which they almost are)i would still not go near a long down hill mountain slope :O.
Maybe after i replace the single res. M.C. with a dual res. unit i would decend a mountain on the way to the Nats one day.
Greg if your keeping the 56(i vote keep her) remember that Tanson Ent. does have a frt disk brake kit dual m.c. res. $1795.00. :O
And fer yer 58, Trans conversion kits th350 or th400 bolt in with your stock crossmember $776.00.
I recently got there elec. wiper motor conversion EASY INSTALL!
Has dual speeds and a park on the supplied switch...i happy with it.
Good luck!

Dear Chris Witt

Congratulation for being a winner in the sweepstake lotteries,As you was 
informed in the notification letter sent to you from london.
==============
Oh, lucky me, boy do I NEED the money right now too!


I am Dr MOFE DAMIJOH,My job is to make your claim easy,to do that,i will 
like you to foward your account details to me,your phone and fax 
numbers,including the swift code of your bank,This is to enable me foward a 
letter of claim to the Absa bank on your behalf so that they will contact 
you,
=============
Darn, I do not have the bank account at this time. What can we do now?

for the avoidance of daubt,i will like you to with draw all the money you 
have in the account if are sceptical about this,as many people are because 
there are lots of fraud in the world today via the internet,or you can open 
a new account and foward the details asap.
Remain blessed.
Damijoh M (ESQ)
================
Fraud? Where? I have had 1000's of deals on the internet lately, and there 
has been hardly any fraud whatsoever. Just a couple of fake cashier's checks 
from the Nigerian Crew, but any American can toleratre the occasional loss 
of 4 or 5 thousand dollars. Heck, we spend that much in a week, on movie 
rentals and late fees! I just bought my dog a $10,000 collar!

I tell you what, Dr. Mufasa, when I get my hands on that money, you are 
invited, no, REQUIRED... to attend my palatial Hillbilly Manor where you 
will be the Guest of Honor at the biggest Necktie Party the county has ever 
seen! After that, I will not need to buy dog food for MONTHS!

This is truly a blessing from you. I like how you toss in that "remain 
blessed" part, because perpetrators of fraud would NEVER try to use the name 
of the almight Allah in vain to their illicit ends! Of this we can be 
assured! Your are truly a stand-up guy in a bend-over world!

Subject: love at first use: new timing light

I'm busy putting in my new MSD bits. I used my new Innova/Equus Pro 
timing light to take a quick reading of the current timing setting 
for reference. What a joy to use! (at least compared to my 25 
year-old Craftsman unit). Very bright strobe, nice quality 
connectors, etc., and I love the illuminated LCD display that shows 
rpm, volts, etc.

Some are selling this unit for around $200. I got if for $160 plus 
reasonable shipping from this guy's store on ebay. He included a 
decent remote starter and  circuit test light.

Thursday I got to be the dog instead of the Hydrant!

Small pile of stuff in the engine pile at scrap metal yard... looksee, not 
much, nope, crap, oh hey

WHAT'S THIS???
Oh my, a Z manifold!
I been coming here for 10 YEARS looking for something like that, FINALLY got 
one.
Hey, go thru the rest of the stuff:

the mating divided X manifold
Pair of Buick? cast iron xst mans that look like headers:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4500245601&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT

Pair of Poncho heads that turned out to be 1979 301 turds. [on ebay for 
scrap metal value]

3-4 water pumps, one of which is the rare #5 casting that makes the 1971-2 
engines happy. Sold on ebay already [others on hand, inquire if you need]. 
One was a common #4 but with cast iron impeller- rare.

Also got 5 or 6 carbs, a whole 1970 Cadillac intake with carb 7040230 and 
choke coil [on ebay]
7043250 x2, 7040251 but with bad inlet threads, 17085226, and 17086008 [on 
eBay]

Nice 425 flexplate and 350/455 MT flywheel [at machine shop to get cleaned 
and new ring gear]

The elusive and fabled "smaller diameter" Diesel only flexplate?!?!?! Looks 
Olds, but dia is oh maybe 0.200" smaller than the similar 425 unit.

Diesel vacuum pump. [Not sure why I acquire stuff like that]

had the xst mans sold before I even found them. Just in time too.

It's that 1 visit in 100 at the scrap yard that makes the other 99 worth 
while. This is no ZR-1 motor, or NOS Northstar engine, but I'll take it.

And, to op it off, the weather has been unseasonably WARM here lately and 
the 442's insurance is still in effect, and so we get to USE IT.

Subject: 1970 cutlass 's' holiday coupe

I live in Morawa Western Australia and have been lucky enough to =
purchase a 1970 Olds Cutlass 'S' Holiday Coupe (especially since they =
were never sold in Australia!!) =20

Unfortunately the wheels and tyres fitted are not legal in this state. =
==============
*blink*
????
They care to that level of detail? Crikey.
I have seen cars running about MI with large chunks of fender missing. I 
myself have driven a Fiat with a pc of screen door panel for a front fender. 
Wheels and tires are the first things a kid changes out on his fisrt ride.
Man, that is *so* Nazi...


In order to make wheel and tyre modifications in WA I need to know the =
factory front and rear wheel track (distance measured across the vehicle =
from centre of tread to centre of tread) of this car.  I also need to =
know the factory original tyre size fitted to these coupes. I seem to be =
able to find almost ever spec except these one on the net.  I believe =
that it would have been fitted with 14 x 7 inch wheels.
Can you help me???
Thanks in anticipation
Craig Chadwick
==================
Yessir, get yerself a nice 1970 Olds Chassis Service Manual. All the factory 
specs you could ask for. Except precise casting or part numbers.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6762&item=7931452596&rd=1

If they won't ship to the Land Down Under, have it sent to me, I'll get it 
to you.

Meantime, I can quote you the numbers out of the CSM if you like, but that's 
hearsay, not all that persuasive to The Authorities.

Maybe honest folks DO need protection.
On the Lexus trans, I got an offer to sell several at $100 each
Since I am selling mine at $100 or less, I presume the feller meant to offer 
the BUYER the chance to buy several from him rather than me, and 
inadvertently sent the notice to ME.

The '69 Cs parts are not mine, I am listing them for a friend, I'll clear a 
little on ech piece that sells.

Surely you are not questioning my veracity here just because I chose to 
disallow meddling in the auctions by busybodies... I have a sterling

That reminds me: did the later '67 425s with the 39* cam lifter bore angle
also get changed to the later flywheel bolt pattern? If so, can one then
surmise this might be another way to ID 45* or 39* lifter bore angle 425s?
