Maybe, you're asking about the ' rear main engine seal ' ?

I remember my Dad telling me his '50 Olds would raise up in the rear when he took off from a light. Now, I know why the Olds did that... Thanks for that

I reckon you mean a 1936 Buick Roadmaster 80 series? look farther down below the AACA section for the Buick BCA section. There's plenty of Buick folks that can steer you to the parts you need

Tim, Once again I offer up my prayers for you and your family.

thanks for that

Jim is more likely to be correct

Nice buys !! Congratulations !!

I saw your thread asking what color. As far as what your car had originally (red or black) I'm not sure there is a definitive answer. If, I had your interior colors; I would go with black

After three tries with rebuilt alternators, I gave up on Advance Auto. I see their carburetors aren't better.

Willie, I'd like see, please.

They weren't a factory option for '55 Dealers sold '55s with wire wheels... Probably true for '57, too

good points, all !

You're right. At my local Walmart Dexron is $4.27 for the quart Marvel Mystery Oil is $4.67 for the quart. I could save $0.40

Try getting it in safe, legal (brakes, steering,glass, lights signals) streetabke condition Then you can drive it while you work on its looks

I thought '37 on that one, too.' Certainly a '35 Ford driving toward the camera.

To test the engine for being free, Remove the spark plugs. Put some Marvel Mystery oil or transmission fluid in the spark plug holes. And on the valve train Let that sit overnight, or at least a few hours... Remove all the belts (fan belt, generator belt, power steering belt) Use a long breaker bar with a socket wrench on the crank pulley. If you meet resistance try turning the opposite direction and then back again

Comparing the prices of Dexron to Marvel Mystery Oil locally , they're very close in price

that'd be what mine look like , too

Say, That would work for the thermostat housing, too No? What, trying to line up the gasket, cover, and air cleaner yoke....

Thank You! I will get that information to Mrs. Whited !

my first time seeing one of those.

I'll take a picture of mine tomorrow in the daylight and post.

try Waldren's

I was thinking a Russian Volga
