Cool Hello Everyone, New Olds fan here

I've looked at the forums here since March when I bought my 1962 Dynamic 88 4-door hardtop and finally got around to signing up. This thing runs STRONG. I brag to my mechanic buddy that the motor must have been rebuilt. Burns both rear tires with barely a tap on the go pedal...

Pfft. That was the norm for Oldsmobiles back in the day. No rebuild required.
