I bought a 55 oldsmobile 5 months ago, and have done alot to it since, i have recently found a large can underneath the drivers side , it is scuba tank size, and has a rubber line that is connected to the carb, i cannot find this in my manual, and there is no opening to put anything in. should this be there? does anyone know what it is used for? anything would be useful.

thanks, robert

Your scuba tank is the Vacume resevouir for Power brakes wipers ect any thing that requires that sourse , Like a man under water. Larry

There should be a "gozinta" and a "gozouta". Never saw one as large as a scuba can though, that sucker should hold a lot of vacumm!

The one on my 54 only has 1 gozeinta-outa they are so big because these Bendix treadlevac systems really Suck .

Oldsguy

Yeah, of course. The goezinta and goezouta would be the same thing....DOH!

Hi Robert
Do you have any pics of your car to share?
Are there many old cars in Nova Scotia?
I am looking forward to visit Canada some day, I have been in 26 us states, but I have never been to Canada.

there are no abundace of old cars in nova scotia,I think the road salt killed most of them. I live 3 hrs from the largest car show I know of called the atlantic Nationals, I spent all day there but didn't even see 1/2 of them. In the summer you can see old cars regularly but not alot, mabye 1 or 2 a day in the summer. It is nice to drive the cabot trail in the fall when all the leaves tun color. theere are some pics of the cabot trail and my car at http://s162.photobucket.com/albums/t241/keith6989/

I have never been out of canada or the maritimes even. Are there many old cars in the states? I am looking foreward to going to the states someday What are some of the nicest places to go? Keep me updated on your car.

American Lead

What is north norway like? Where are the best places to see? are there many old cars there? Do you have any pics of Norway? I would love to hear more about your country.

Hi
Its beautiful over here in the summer time, it never gets dark over here in the summer.
We don’t live so far from the Artic circle.
There are a lot of pictures on my website of US cars in North Norway.

Here are also some pictures of North Norway, at my family part of my website.

I was at your website and I loved the beautiful pictures of the Cabot trail.
Do you know about other websites with pictures from your area?

Your 55, looks like a very good project, seems like there is not much rust and the dash is really beautiful on these cars.

American Lead

WOW! i have seen your pics and the scenery is BEAUTIFUL i wish i lived somewhere as pretty as that. A good website to visit on Nova Scotia is http://novascotia.com/en/home/default.aspx

If you google atlantic nationals there are a few websites with pics and info on one of our largest car shows. I hope to hear more from you in the future, I would also love to see some more pics of your country.

Thanks

Hi Robert
How is it going with your car,I have been away from home a month, I have been to a spa in Poland, to get my health better, so I can work on my cars.

Hi pontchief, my car is coming along quite nicely, i am now ready for paint as I have finished my breaks, transmission, and a few more things here and there. How are your cars coming? I hope you are feeling better so you can get back to your cars. I see your Buick has a new coat of paint. I really looks sharp now, it stands out from the rest. I can only hope mine will look 1/2 as good as yours when you are finished. Now that summer has rolled around i am starting to see more old cars on the road, What is the weather like there? I am looking forward to hearing more from you soon. Good luck with your cars.

pontchief

Hi
We are still waiting for the summer over here, only 6 celsius outside.
Today I bought a 69 Buick Skylark convertible project for my wife, so we will sell the 55 Pontiac instead.
Nice to hear that you are seeing progress on your car.
I am looking forward to see pictures of it.

Hello again. It sounds cold where you are. Do you have any pictures of the newest edition? The flies came today, i think because of all the warm weather we had they all hatched, you can barely breathe without gaging on one of them. I hope they will burn off toward the end of the month. I will send you some pictures soon. I am looking forward to hearing more about your new project as it comes along.

Hi pontchief It has been a while since I have visited the form, I was very busy with my 55 and my friend's 75 trans am. I am now back to school and I am just getting settled in so I am hoping to get back on schedule. I am dreading the snow here, it should be coming very soon I am hoping to get my motor back from the rebuild shop before the winter, I sure have my work set out for me now. This winter they are predicting heavy snowfall for my area more than 40cm at a time. I will send you some pics when it comes. My e-mail adress id howier@student.ednet.ns.ca, if you email me there you should hear back much sooner. I am looking foreward to seeing the new pics. sory I didn't get back to u sooner.
