Well, I'll be...
4918614 is a transmission kit in group #10.159.
Oldsmobile book sez fits RH '68 exc. F-85 or Toro.
Not listed in the Chevrolet book, so fits Oldsmobile only?

I can only help you with two of these, sort of...
4918614 was discontinued 7/89, but I cannot get an application.
5946078 is a rear side marker bezel for '76 & '77 Buick A-body station wagons.

Well, I'm confused <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
'69, '70 and '71 (exc. F85) use a 554888 regulator.
'72 thru '75 A,B,C & E bodies use the same 554888 regulator.
'70 F85s use a 6466184 transducer (less tubing).
'71 F85s use a 25030711 transducer.
'70 thru '73 A,B,C & E bodies use a 25030712 transducer.
So, '72 & '73 A,B,C & E use a regulator AND a transducer?
But at any rate, that should illustrate that a 442 uses a different regulator/transducer, at least in part number. I don't know about appearance.
Or maybe not. I just read this again, and I'm more confused now than before.

Yes, I believe mechanically a Jetaway, or Super HydraMatic, could be substituted. The problem on '61 to '64 cars seems to be the low tranmission tunnel. It looks like floor modifications would have to be made.

Interesting...
I checked my Service Guild last night and there is nothing in there about the anti-spin. I guess since they printed a supplemental manual they didn't feel the need to have anything in the Guild. Too bad they didn't list the shaft length in the manual. But definitely only 2 listings for shafts in the '63 parts book.

I missed the anodized aluminum bit. I thought it was stainless. But I still think it fits the back of a '65 88. Don't have one around to measure, tho.

I did some thinking about this on the way home last night, then forgot to look at the Service Guilds when I got home...
The listing you have for posi axle shafts - are there air ride posi shafts, and non-air ride posi shafts?
Paul

What year book is that? My '63 book has a LH & RH listing for '57 & '58 exc. air suspension, and another listing for '58 with air suspension. No different listing for posi for '57 or '58. Ditto for '59 to '63, btw.
'58 Anti Spin supplement manual only says that air suspension cars used shafts that were 1/2" longer and that they can't be used in conventional suspension cars, and vice versa.
Also says that a '57 car can be converted to anti-spin by swapping out the carrier. Says nothing about changing axles.
I'll have to check my Service Guilds. Maybe there's something about axle length in there.

I do not have the lengths, but '57 and '58 Olds axle shafts are the same, regardless of posi or open rear, except for '58s with New Matic suspension, which are 1/2" longer than conventional suspension shafts. LH & RH are different part numbers, but I don't know that the difference is in the length. Shafts came throught parts with studs already installed and we all know the left side is reverse thread. When I had the axle rebuilt in my '62, it came back with the shafts switched. We just switched them back. They are interchangable 'cept for the studs. But maybe '57 and '58 are different lengths left and right.

Are the DRLs on the parking lights on the Buick? I had the DRLs enabled on the Dodge, but they are on the high beams and have no effect on the blinkers.

Boy, am I skating on thin ice in regards to non-Olds content on this one...
I made a similar modification to my '05 Magnum a few months ago. My side markers did not blink at all (I think). Now, they blink with the turn signals when the lights are on, and alternate with the turn signal when the lights are off.
Modification was as simple as switching two wires in a connector. More information here:

I would think your Buick would be similar. At least explains the theory behind it.

That number on the pillar is the VIN. They weren't very long in '53.

'59 Super 88 Fiesta production was 7,015. Dynamic 88 Fiesta production was 11,298. There were no 98 Fiestas. I've got a build sheet on my website for a '62 Fiesta wagon with an Ionia produced body. The wagon was built in Doraville, GA, so they must have shipped the bodies to various plants, which makes no sense to me.

Number on cylinder head falls within '56 parameters, but could also fall within '57 parameters if we knew what the final '57 number was. Apparently '56 and '57s both started with As.
Block casting number is not '56, according to Olds FAQ. '56 block numbers are
568922, or , it looks like, 568928.
I'd make an educated guess at a '57.

Those small things won't knock you out of unrestored. Unrestored criteria is bigger stuff like paint and upholstery. There's a list in JWO.

Ouch! I think my room at the Courtyard is only $105 or $109, and that, I'm almost sure, was not the "special" rate. But those reservations were made months ago...

I am assuming he searching online, like I was doing at one time. Some sellers don't even know to bother to tell you it's got a supercharger, so knowing the VIN code helps eliminate the ones that are not.

On the supercharged LSS, the 8th digit in the VIN will be a 1 (one). Non superchargers are a K.

I was told the Courtyard had rooms, just not at the special OCA rate. But that was a month ago, so the situation may have changed. For those interested, on the way home from Dallas last year I stayed at a very nice Microtel a little bit away from the show site, right off the interstate. Cracker Barrel within walking distance. Took me maybe 5 minutes to get to the show site.

Must be dealing with a Cutlass of some sort, since we've got SSII wheels...
Four-Season Air Conditioning - C60
Power Side Windows - A31
Deluxe Pushbutton Radio - U63
Power Brakes with Front Disc - JL2
325hp Rocket 400 V-8 Engine - L31, but if you are dealing with a 442 this engine was standard. L31 was only optional on Vista Cruisers.

Strato Bucket Seats - A51, again on a 442 these were standard
Super Stock II wheels - N66
Anti-Spin Rear Axle - G80
