  1. The coil in this car probably has steel terminals that are prone to corrode. I had this problem with my Olds. I cleaned the terminals and gave them a coat of no-ox. The difference was amazing. Coils manufactured later were equipped with brass or copper terminals that eliminater the corrosion.

  2. I found an assortment of small compression and expansion springs at Lowes.

    The assortment contained over one hundred springs costing under $5.00. I

    found two that would work on the "d" sector of my olds.

  3. I used black stove pipe on my '17 Olds. I rolled the three pieces

    necessary for this type of muffler. The concentric rings on the ends

    will help you determine the diameter for the pieces need. I used pop

    rivits to fasten after rolling to form two inside pipes and the outer

    skin. Put the rivited side next to the floor board. Out of sight out

    of mind. I replaced the long bolt with a piece of threaded rod. The

    inner pipe needs the holes away from the input to the muffler and the

    second pipe has its holes near the input. This causes the gasses to travel

    the longest distance inside the muffler. The home made muffler works great.

    I hope I didn't break any patent laws.

  4. Use Lab-Metal to fill pits before you powdercoat. Sand flush similar

    to bondo and powdercoat. Lab-Metal is electro conductive and rated above 400 degrees needed to set the powder. Eastwood sells Lab-Metal.

  5. Tommy,

    I used JB to build up my radiator inlet & outlet ports on my 1917 Olds. That was three years ago and it is still doing the job. I cleaned the parts, rusty cast iron, with a drill powered wire wheel prior to applying JB. I built up the area with JB and filed it back to the correct round size for the hoses. I was/am very impressed with the results.
