another old car

shoprat another means if you could locate one is those old fashion oil fired wall heater but you'll have to have a oil tank out back - and a exhaust stack but my brother has this set up in his garage and its very warm in there during winter - I just use a construction type propane heater in mine / but you got to leave windows open to be safe and when messing with gas make sure its off would even think about elect heat - man my house has heat pump - and put another one out in garage - POWER COMPANY would love me

1937hd45 I wonder if that was one I saw on trailer at hershey 02 I'll attach picture I took

kentraco welcome to forum your question about vin number location - the number you show is a engine number heres what I know 70 series engine number prefix G is syncro-mesh GA is hydra-matic engine number is stamped at top leftside of the engine cylinder block just back of water pump car serial number is stamped on a plate that is riveted to the upper left hand corner of engine side of dash tag should read OLDS 76L----- or OLDS 76C----- first two digits are model number followed by where car was built L would be Linden C would be California then followed by a 4 or 5 digit serial number hope this helps aoc

59 olds Just in case you might break something - I've got a complete 41 olds 6 and three speed - rusty sitting next to garage - it hasn't be touched in years - its been in weather - might be good - for a part or two - just keep me in mind - down the road - wife wanted to make a flower pot out of it

seasand77 unless your looking for something chrome you can make one - you'll need a piece of 1/4 X 1 1/4 flatbar and a grinder to shape it - drill two holes good luck with project aoc

tarius you could tell alittle more information is check engine light still on what kind of miles on car 20 year old car - have you checked to see it converter maybe clogged you could do back pressure test on exhaust - or have a tune-up shop check it good luck with project aoc

I'll take a shot cause that has happen to me Time for new points and condenser worked for me

rich I would guess your buddy did check for water in oil like dave said and with what you said about distributor getting steam bath I think I would also try new cap/rotor/coil or go to local used part yard and get whole distributor

tiretracks have you tried bending the curve about 6" to 8" from the end of strip and then cut it off where needed I found this was the way to do window strips in my olds

skyking I did same thing when I moved out to calif back in 79 put the jeep in a 70 era ford uhaul - loaded it at a sears loading dock on a sunday - used ramps to get it off - when we moved back 12 years later it rode on uhaul car trailer - 6000 miles coast to coast and never touched ground - still got that jeep

hal dont you love it when a plan goes together and it dosent hurt being in a garage was it a whole kit

I like mine with cold milk - to wash all that sugar down ENJOY

what started out as a cold winter day drive out to the country we got about 25 miles from home - driving along interstate -all of sudden engine died and car backfired - -tryed to restart it but only would turn over - coasted to side of road , and wouldnt you known it - right at the end of merging lane (on ramp)on shoulder of road - Thank goodness wife had her cellphone with her - called the wrecker service I always use - they said it could be 3 hrs before a flatbed wrecker could get there - anyway I told them its a 1941 Oldsmobile and needed a flatbed - there guy gave me a number for a wrecker service close to me where I was at - called them and told them same thing I needed a flatbed wrecker cause it was old car and wont start - and was at a very bad spot on interstate - guy said he would get a truck out there as quick as he could - it nice to own a old car sometimes - the truck showed up in about 30 mins - anyway its points & condenser only lasted a little over 1000 miles NO SPARK had a spare set at home in garage

beachballs4 I see you have sold car - but seeing how alot of us dont have a yahoo password - you can still post a picture in photo section of forum . just a thought - glad it found a good home

December 7 . 1941 yep today we drove the 41 around today - in honor of the few left, that were there - my dad was one of them - veteran of Pearl Harbor - he passed away many years ago - this month That man is deeply missed and when we get that smile from the older folks while we were out today you know just seeing that car driving down road , puts them in a place & time long ago God Bless Veterans that gave it all

lost in ky I think knowing what you do about car water in engine - bad on bearing if it was started I would pass on it

pitman you could try and run another wire from starter solnoid Term IGN to 12V side of coil as a test or just hot wire coil and test it that way some olds motors like my big block - to start after its hot - I put gas pedal on floor and hit key - works every time for me
