My first post to introduce my '71 442. I've been a Pontiac guy for years having owned several GTO's. My only other Olds was a '68 H/O I sold in 1975. Who knew? Anyway, this 442 is in good shape, but needs a couple of things:

Double groove PS pump pulley. Previous owner replaced the harmonic balancer and now this pulley is bent. I hope it's not the pump - it is quiet and functioning OK.

Spare tire hold down J hook and hex bolt for SSI wheel. Also, since the car was repainted, no one replaced the jack storage instructions inside the lid. Does the lug wrench bolt to the floor separate from the tire/jack? I see two screws in the floor leading down from just inside the compartment, but there are no clips attached.

Thanks for any help that's offered.

 

Nice car, welcome.

 

Beautiful car!

 

Very, very nice car. Welcome. Gotta love those 4-speed cars.

 

Welcome, and yes with the Super Stock wheels there should be clips screwed to the trunk floor for the jack handle to snap into.

 

Very nice looking car, and neighborhood! Welcome aboard. If you need a trunk decal for the jack stowage and use, they are repopped by several vendors. You can also get the jack handle clips from Fusick Automotive at low cost. For decals, I like Dr. Decal, but almost all the vendors have the stuff you will be looking for. You might also want to pick up a 71 Oldsmobile Chassis Service manual. It has a ton of info for servicing the car properly.
