  1. The button release for the parking brake was for the 1922 Oldsmobile. The hand grip release was for the 1923 Oldsmobile.
  2. The previous posting " if your car has drum shaped headlights, then it is a 1923 (earlier cars like mine had teardrop shaped headlights). Another tell tale sign is the parking brake is a hand grip release as opposed to a button release. I have some more photos of my friends car, but I don't have access to them right now. " Although correct, this was not submitted by me. I would like to know who did post it, because I have a question about the parking brake hand grip and button release. Thank you, OLDMAN
  3. I just found the answer to my question. A Sotheby's site on the internet has the following: Hershey 2015: 1923 Oldsmobile Model 43A Brougham sold for $19,250. Chassis no. 24365 engine no. C 8773. Inline four cylinder. "The year 1923 was the final year for the 43A". Since my motor no. is C 10774, it has to be 1923. Thank you all for your interest. Ross
  4. Hi Steve, The engine in my car has the same number that is on the spare plaque, i.e. C 10774. It had been replaced by a previous owner because the original engine, which I have, has a busted block and head. It has 4 cylinders. The spare plaque shows that it is a model 43AT. I have an "Oldsmobile Instruction Book for the Oldsmobile Four Model 43A" with the publication date of January 1923. There are illustrations showing both sides of the engine (4 cylinders). Illustrations in the book show that the 1923 43A has different headlights than that of the 1922 Oldsmobile 43A. I also have a "Oldsmobile Parts Book applying to the Oldsmobile Four Model 43-A". The publication date is June 1923. I posed my original question to hopefully determine if the motor in my car is from a 1922 or 1923. Ross
  5. I have a spare plaque with the motor no. C10774 car no. 25102 ( model 43AT). Is this a 1922 or 1923 Oldsmobile 43AT? Thank you for any responses, OLDMAN
  6. CUDAMAN, I tried the 0.030 setting, and my 1922 Oldsmobile was misfiring, so I did what you said and closed the gap to 0.025 and the firing was perfect. Thank you so much for helping me. OLDMAN
  7. Thank you so much cudaman. I appreciate your help! OLDMAN
  8. I have a 1922 Oldsmobile model 43AT. What should be the gap size of an Autolite 3076 spark plug? This spark plug also fits a model A Ford. Thanks for any help, OLDMAN
  9. Thanks go to Steve Moskowitz and Matt Hocker for their research on what wood was used for the steering wheel on my 1922 Oldsmobile 43AT. It is walnut. OLDMAN
  10. Does anyone know what wood was used for the steering wheel on my 1922 Oldsmobile 43AT (5 passenger touring ). The wheels are hickory, but I believe the steering wheel is a different wood. Thank you, Oldman.
  11. This dashboard is identical to my 1922 Oldsmobile 43AT 5 passenger touring car.From left to right: Oil gauge, Speedometer, Switches to turn on start mode and lights, and Amp meter. Above is the dash light and knob to open the vent on the cowl. At the bottom next to the steering column is the choke knob. Nice purchase. OLDMAN
  12. Thank you George. I was able to get the head for my 1922 43A Olds repaired a couple of years ago. I would like to have a back-up head, but funds are a little tight at this time. Thank you for your post. Ross
  13. 3/27/2022 Update. Thank you again Mark. My car with the 3 point suspension motor does have a Front Motor Arm (actually, a Motor Plate similar to the motor arm as on the 4 point suspension, but it does not support the motor) 3/28/2022 Update. I checked the Oldsmobile Parts Book dated June 1923 3rd Edition and it lists what I called the Motor Plate as the Gear Cover Plate which was used on and after engine no. B 24664. It is just somewhat different than the spare motor that is a 4 point suspension set-up. The motor number is right where you said it would be as per your information a year ago. I am approaching 80, that is my excuse for not seeing what is now obvious to me. OLDMAN!
  14. Hi Everyone, Does anyone know where the engine number is located on a 3 point suspension engine for a 1922 Oldsmobile 43AT? Thanks to Mark Santos, he told me where the engine number on my spare engine was located (4 point Suspension engine). It is not on the flywheel as it is on a 1922 Chevy. Thank you for any help that you can give me. OLDMAN
