  1. Also check your dipstick for a loose cap. That happened to my 56, and as the cap slipped past its predetermined stop the stick always gave a false reading.
  2. Ok. Sometimes it is hard to tell if one is being baited. And I mean no disrespect to Nick but that question was so innocent that I thought there coukd be a nefarious intent. I guess that is what happens in the written vs in person conversation. @Mr. Reed, there were 9 years with many a change between 50 to 59. If you were looking to install either unit into the car at the opposite end of the year range you included, someone with a lot of Dynaflow experience might be able to make it work, but it is not a bolt in operation. It might help the discussion if you could expand on why you were asking the question.
  3. With all due respect, is this a trick question? 😄
  4. In todays news, ran the GS in the (in)famous St Patricks Day Parade. I did this last year with Annie, but I had no riders. This year they threw the Tulip Queen and her court at the car! Yep, the lovely tall lady, who played basketball in college was the Queen. It was a larger crowd this year with very nice weather
  5. And, in yesterday's news! love those first season rides. Especially when everything works the way you expect!
  6. @buickbrothers thats a good idea. Those explosion diagrams look kind scary. It looks easy to make a mistake.
  7. But here is the 1960 assembly in case anyone is curious.
  8. These pictures are in the same November 1, 1960 parts manual. It might be the extra part you have is applied in one of these two other assemblies, but not in yours? Note the Hydrovac power brake unit does not have a year assigned. And the next image was for a 1960 assembly. Since your kit supposedly covers up to 59 I left the 1960 unit out of this post.
  9. And so the season begins! sheesh, for a car that only came out a few times this winter it sure did suck up some fuel!
  10. Thanks. I had asked because my direct prior experience involved a Rochester 4 bbl where the linkage for the secondaries was installed upside down and prevented them from opening. Obviously this could not be the problem in this case.
  11. Wow! Here's another question for you. White or blackwalls with the chrome road wheels? 😄😄 Ps: Any chance we could see a picture of the 66 Skylark?
