jeff Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I have been helping a friend with his '35 Olds (6 cyl, 4 door). He will need a distributor cap and wires, also, wheel cylinders.Any idea why most of the catalogs I have found only go back to '37 (wiring) or '36 (brakes)?? Was there a big change between '35 and '36? (like a new ignition or brake system)Can anyone post a few suggestions on parts sources? Thanks,Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 36OldsEight Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Jeff, I do not think that there's a large difference mechanically between the two, just a couple of minor trip changes... I will have to look back where we picked up the brake parts, but if memory serves me, Kanter carries a full complement of brake parts for the car.I have a couple of wiring schematics for a 36 and would be happy to scan and email if you would like. I can also do the same for parts of the shop manual.Wilde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 Thanks for your offer. I will pass this on to my friend, and if he continues to strike out, I'm sure we will be back in touch.As far as the brakes, I am pretty sure Kanter only listed wheel cylinders to 1936. However, as a '38 Buick owner and a long time employee of Delphi (formerly the Delco Moraine division), I am fairly certain those wheel cylinders were all the same. They all said, "Delco, Dayton, Ohio, USA" and were made in the same plant I started at 20 years ago.Unless the very first year ('35) started up with Lockheed wheel cylinders... you never know!Thanks again,Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
