Need a bit of help. I have just bought a 1956 oldsmobile super 88, 4 door hardtop, holiday with the 324 rocket v8. I pulled of the top radiator hose to replace it and the thermostat housing disintegrated! I have been trying to find a new thermostat housing but i cant find one. any help would be greatly appreciated. Also are there any good websites for buying olds parts?

 

I see lots of people tossing around "Fusicks" i dont know for sure what they have, yearone might have something, check ebay for good deals. i dont know, im still new to the whole parts finding thing lol. Once someone who has a car like yours gets online they will have lots of info for you.

 

Use one of these websites. They might be able to get you what you need. I doubt Fusicks or Kanter would carry something like that but you could always look.

EGGE.com should have everything you need to build that old motor from the ground up.

 

Download the Fusick catalog here.

Look on page 49.
