[J'ville]

Say Mickey 3D, I thought about putting somthing between bumpers for cushion effect and easing the Olds back into the garage. But then, I saw my neighbor out in the yard and was able to corral his help. The Olds is now tucked in out of the elements. The car still has original paint which I will have repainted eventually. But the original chrome is still spotless and that is what I was really worried about. Everything seems as was.
I will let you how the Petronix conversion goes when I get it in.
I found oil on the coil and coil wire that must of came out the back of the oil bath air filter when the car went up on ramps. I pulled the coil wire and tried it on my 65 Falcon and it worked ok, but the coil could still be shorted out. As a result I will be installing either a dry air filter housing from a later Olds or purchase an aftermarket unit. I had planned on doing this anyway. I will save the oil bath unit.
Anyway I have ordered one of those Flamethrower 40,000 coils which I will install as part of the Petronix unit. If you come across a link (Petronix) from another part of this forum or another forum, please provide it for me.
I think the 56 and 57 Olds were the two of the best looking cars built regardless of era. These cars were really engineered and built. Expect to see these skyrocket in value as they become scarcer. I rate the 62 Olds 2dr hdtp as another looker. And the 67 442.
