I couldn’t stomach the way overpriced D&D set.

I’m trying to track down the info on the parts I ordered from California (they are in the car now). I think the gentleman’s name is Richard Gordon from California Classic Clutch. He just had me count teeth and whatnot. Ring gear count should be 156.

It’s a newer style GM set that fit perfectly! I…[Read more]

I guess its called a road draft tube?

Well this does. I will try to get a puc that works

Exhaust manifold won’t have vacuum.

Had our seats redone using them. They look outstanding! Fit great and the color is much brighter. It was amazing how much the sun baked out of the original. Well worth the effort!

I used these guys, they seem to have the best prices. I only did my front seats (no convertible backs) but they are really nice.

Thanks Greg! This is not the one that I have seen before but it works!

Jim one is Specialty Auto Interiors and they have them on EBay which is a great source for parts for our cars.

Thanks for your reply and information. I am looking at an Olds matched set but they are in rough condition and would need resurfacing if they are rebuildable. The seller is asking too much for the condition. Just waiting and watching (and learning) and hoping to get lucky. Thanks again, Fred

Fred,
There is a lot of different flywheels, all for 1961-63 F-85’s. They very in weight from ~20# to 34# depending on the application. Once you find a suitable flywheel you will then need a clutch disk and pressure plate to match, not easy to find either. Attached is a list from the parts manual and some weight/application data. D&D might seam…[Read more]

Thanks, that is my question.

If your real question is, “is there a flywheel from another engine that fits a 215?”, the answer is no. There are several variants of 215 flywheels, by the way, including the Buick inertia ring flywheels.

Thanks, they do have them. Trying to save some money and hoping that another GM flywheel cross referenced to the 215. Have an Olds 215 four barrel engine with 60,000 original miles that has been in my garage for thirty years. Trying to put together a whole engine transmission package while there is a possibility of salvage or used parts. D&D, I…[Read more]

Contact D&D, good possibility they will have one. Two different flywheels-9-1/2″ or 10″. All Jetfire cars use 10″. Most other F-85’s use a 9-1/2″.
