My 72 Supreme 442 Vert is in the shop for repairs and they are having trouble finding some parts needed to finish the job. I am looking for 3 particular items:

Primary Vacuum Break for 4BBL Rochester
45 Tooth Sea Green Speedometer Gear and both seals
Intake Manifold with Choke stove for 350 CID Olds engine for 4BBL carb.

I know I can get an aftermarket intake manifold but would prefer OEM to keep the engine as original as possible.

If you have any of these parts, please respond.

 

Check here for the speedometer Gear and seals.

For the manifold parts and vacuum break, check with
oldspackrat - Scott (Indianapolis IN)
jensenracing77 - Eric (Brazil IN)
507OLDS - Brian (PA)
Olds442redberet - Tom (Birmingham AL)
2blu442 - John (Medford OR)

There are others on the site that will likely be able to help too, these are just some of the ones who regularly part out cars. I know Tom just got 2 72's in so he likely has the stuff you want. Scott is a treasuretrove of parts too. All the guys are very fair on pricing and shipping.

 

Allan,

Thanks for the info. Already sent a something to 2Blu442 on the manifold and vacuum break.

Appreciate your quick response.

I love this club. Has been a great repository of knowledge and experience.

I have a brand new primary vacuum break (aftermarket) and possibly the intake. E-mail me to discuss: drolds1@bellsouth.net. Thanks, Bob.

 

Attached are pictures of the parts I am looking for. If you have any of these or know where to find, please let me know.

I have the correct 72 455 iron intake code U 410448 '72 455 4V except W-30, alternate to R for '72. Iron

 

Please send a picture.

 

I may have the speedo gear, I'll check this afternoon when I get home.

 

I have a 70 intake will that do lol

 

I have an factory intake that came off my 72 cutlass 350.

 

I believe that he is looking for a 350 intake.

 

Definitely 350 not 455. Thanks anyway.

 

Alex72cutty,

Please PM with a picture of your intake manifold.

my bad on the 455 intake; assumed 442 was a 455. anyway... in searching my parts, I did find a nice oem vacuum break like the pic you posted.

 

If it was a 70 or 71 you would have been safe. Those years 442 was automatically a 455.

 

E mail sent with pics.

 

Lunaboy,

Tried to respond to your PM but kicked back saying your box is full.

I am interested in your choke pull off.

Mort

 

Got your email and responded. Ball is in your court.

 

All parts found and on their way. Thanks to all for the help.
