Sorry about the fuzzy pic’s. Here they are again.

Hi Sean,
I have attached the page from the 1963 Oldsmobile Master Parts book. All F-85 fuel tanks are the same part number. The difference is in the “bolt on” pick-up and fuel gauge sender unit. You should be able to use ANY 1963 F-85 fuel tank and use your Jetfire fuel pick-up, fuel return and gauge unit. This unit uses a fuel return (second…[Read more]

Hi,
Sounds like you two still need gas tank help. My ’62 gas tank leaked when it was filled. Could always smell gas until the tank was down to 1/2 full. Never saw any leaking gas on ground. During 2006 rebuild of this Jetfire, I took tank out and could not find leak myself. Took to a nation wide commercial service, Gas Tank Renu USA…[Read more]

Hi T,
The head number you list is for a 1963 build, 215 cid engine, for a hi compression 4 bbl car. All 1962 and 1963 Jetfire/Turbo engine/head numbers start with a “S” and end with a “T”.

Hi Joel,

However they do it, I know they have supplied in the…[Read more]

Hi Deuce,
F-85 and Cutlass use 9 1/2″ clutch & pressure plate. Jetfire uses 10″ clutch & pressure plate.
D & D can set you up.

That was a nice looking ’62 Jetfire. Trying to sell a restored Jetfire with a 4 bbl set-up is about the same as selling a 442 with a 6 banger under the hood! To most, Jetfire means turbocharged V-8. Put the 4 bbl on top and you just have a trimmed out Cutlass.
