If it wasn't so frickin' hot I'd go out and do it right now.Thanks for the info,I'll try to work on it in the morning.

I dont know anything about the originals but if they were late model GMs I know how to fix them.  Jeff

OK lay it on me.My '40 Olds has a later version triangle 3 hole mount.It mounts to the original bracket,but on the passenger side it's lose as hell.

Pretty sure they are originals, just recovered. They were in the car. There aren't any other '40 Chevys in the area to look at, to verify if they are original. They "look" like originals when I check on line.

Hey I'd like to know the answer to this question.I've got the same problem on the same side of my '40 Olds.Sags,loose a real pain in the butt!

Cool Cars for a Cure car and truck show.This Sunday May 20th.Stop 11 and Emerson Ave. Indianapolis,In  www.stophd.org Plenty of awards and door prizes.Come on down all you RRT members.

I noticed on one of the other forums the question of what kind of oil to run in an old school motor.(one with a carburetor)This is for a regular oil change after break in.I'm running a sb ford with 6000 miles on it.I'd like to see 100,000 on it before I have to take it apart.What's everyones opinion on all the different oils?Should I stay with Valvoline for gas engines or switch to the synthetics?I've even heard of going to the Shell Rotella oil for diesel engines.Hell it's just like shopping for beer...so many to chose from,so little time.

Hey, there is a cool site for info on Indiana Car shows and all kinds of stuff at.  oldcarsonly.com   try it out.

Anyone going to the Super Sunday swap meet in Indianapolis on Sunday?

*! I was going to try and make the trip on April 11th,but I have to go to California.My son will be home from a tour in Iraq.I hate to miss the BBQ but family  first. Hope we can meet some of you folks at the Louisville Nats in Aug. oldmanolds

Well then does anyone know where I can pick up a pair of budget shorty headers for a 350 Olds?

That wouldn't work in my '40 Olds.Thanks for the information.

No, not even close. I do have a set of 350 Olds weed burners here though.

Are they huggers?I don't have much space to work with.Not really sure what you mean by weed burners. oldmanolds

Will sbc exhaust headers bolt up to Olds 350 heads?

Last year a couple of kids came up to my wife and I at a local car show.We started talking about the kind of cars kids are into now and the money spent on them.The young man had a Honda 2000 (I think)with gull wing doors,tv's,a kick * stereo,turbo and nitrous.He said that he had around 40 grand in that car!Hell when I was his age I couldn't buy a cheap VW...anyway the fact is he loved our "OLD" car and was truly interested in it.I guess that driving a old car with lots of history is quite a conversation starter.Some of the old folks where my mother is a resident love for me to cruise up in it.Most people like the old cars. The others that like to run their mouths off about them are just jealous.My 2 cents

Welcome, I seem to learn quite a lot here at RRT. I was referred here by someone from one of the other sites also. Glad to be here. oldmanolds

I spent 26 years working on one of Fords most profitable products.They seem to care more about bottom line cost reductions then they do quality.The reason most people are crossing over to the foreign products is quality! Hell a Toyota,or Honda is not any cheaper than a Ford or Chevy, it's just a better car! Detroit wants to pay all their fat-cats big $, then blame all their troubles on union wages, and farm out all their production south of the border. Why is it that Japan is moving all their production facilities to the US? Just had to vent..sorry.   oldmanolds
