nickelroadster Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 First thing you need to do is to get an owner's manual. Then I would get hold of a period Dykes repair manual. I can see a lot of work ahead of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Looks like you need the correct radiator shell, too. COOL car! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H.Boland Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) I had one of those once. I never forgave it for having to be towed home from a tour by a FORD and sold it shortly thereafter.

nickelroadster Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 As has been suggested before, get an owners manual and a mid twenties Dykes manual. Olds used this engine through the twenties. I imagine you cold fin an owners manual on Ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like it is a gear pump from what I can gather. Yes. As Nickel roadster has said try to find a parts book, owners manual, or repair manual. Talk to other members in the Oldsmobile club also and you should get an answer. The parts are out there somewhere. Just takes time to track them down. Dandy Dave!
