How to Build an Olds 455
« on: March 26, 2015, 10:25:22 PM »
I just found my copy of Timminator's The Practical Olds

It is the most thorough explanation of 101 little machining tricks to get your Olds to run long long time.  If there is any interest I will try to scan it into my computer and clean it up a bit.  Then I can mail it to you, as I'm not sure about posting it here as there are probably copyright issues somehow.  It runs 10 pages and it has been copied several times so the pictures are a bit fuzzy and dark but the text explains everything you need to tell the machine shop anyway.  It is an awesome store of information for anyone thinking about trying to squeeze any extra ponies out of your grandfather's 250 hp Cutlass motor.  But yeah, some of us are just crazy like that.   :screwy:

My scanner is at work, and I just started my vacation.  But I will get it done next month and update it here when done.

For those needing copies, there are good quality scans out there on the 'net.  Google "Practical Olds", click one of the 1st few links and scroll down.  You'll find links to the article.
