Oldsmobile usually called that Autronic Eye. I have one on my 54 and I thinl John Oldenburg was the guy I got it from. He rebuilds them into solid state units. Mine works but I hardly ever use it. I actually got a template where to mount it.

Hi redoldsman
Yes, Oldsmobile changed the name from Autronic-Eye to Guide-Matic in 1960.
I have some pics from google showing position in the dashboard from 1960.
Do they seem to match the position with your template?
