Good Luck on your new business. Will you be adding more products in the future?

Interesting...

There's WAY too many holes in your flexplate- is the photo accurate, or is it an attempt at a fitzall part? Seems to me it'd be tough to get the weight in the right place. If the two parts shown [pre-68 vs 68+] are indeed different, I hope they are marked for easy ID.

Good luck, and thanks for at least not showing a Chevy oil pump photo!

Good luck. Be aware that Olds built 307s until the 1990 model year, so your flexplate will fit those, not just up to 1987. On the other hand, apparently the FWD 307s used a smaller diameter flexplate (this is second hand info - I have not personally validated it).

Can you share country of origin on these parts? I'm assuming the shaft mount rockers are not Harlan Sharps, but clones?

Thank you for taking a look

no the cars on my website are cars my wife found on the web .. She knows i like that year . Yes i have way more parts just having a hard time setting up the website .still working on it , and yes the magnetto style hei is made in china .i ve been using that distributor on customers cars for about 2 years . The main reason why that dist is good is it works good with dual carb intake , tunnel rams and old style dist with no clearance who want to run an hei..nobody else out there is making one like that right now .the flexplate and flywheel are drilled for universal early and late . On the flexplate it has 2 positions to move the weight . The weight easily unscrews and screws in the early or late position , all you oldsmobile people out know that early flexplates and flywheels are hard to get . Most of all expensive ... But not nomore..

It's always good to find less expensive Oldsmobile parts.

================
Having seen a factory weight come off and go thru the AT bellhouse, I would be very leery of a weight screwed in place.
