Hello, I'm down in Medford Oregon and if you don't get a reply here send me your email address through a pm. I trust the Oldsmobile guys here, but you never know when someone is trolling for addresses to spam. John

On a slight tangent......Would a 72 block be leaded gas or unleaded? I wasn't alive in 72 so I wouldn't remember.

All GM engines built in 1971 and later have hardened valve seats and lower compression for low and no-lead gas.
