rocker arm pivot hold downs

What in the world is the part number or compatible number?
Jegs has # 077-3236513K looks just like what Olds uses but they say they are for a Jeep?


I tried to get them form Supercars unlimited but they have been back ordered since June 9th and weekly calls just gets me the run around about they will be in tomorrow forgetting I just called last week, so they are out.

Never mind I figured it out myself as useall.
Tried the useless search option so I wouldn't bother the think heads on here with a question about an Oldsmobile, might as well searched for a spoke tightener it would have been the same results.

Not sure what you're on about, but I wasted my time doing a simple search for you.

O'Reilly's got them for half the price.

Any other questions for Mr. Google?

Summit had a set of 4, Jegs said they are for Jeep (I called them) Autozone = 0, Our Oreileys had 1 set and back ordered was 2 weeks, old local parts store = 0 but for $14 a piece have by tomorrow, Nothern Auto, good luck with their search.

You can just change the two for now, and do the rest later, or you may be able to buy a few good used ones from a member on here, and replace them later.

Did you try RockAuto?

I'm kinda confused, are you repairing a Jeep or an Olds. Yes the parts look the same.

The AMC 360, as used in the Jeep Grand Wagoneer, among others, has essentially the same rocker pivot setup as the Olds, but the actual parts are different:

(Melling MRM1798 for Olds
,


MRM 1717 for the AMC
),

and all of the individual parts are different, except for the center strap, which is th same.

Cheap enough for a quality part.

I wonder if the spacing and the bolt mounting holes are the same? If so, then you can mill the Olds setup down to the right height.
