The air filter instructions. I have not looked if they reproduce them or not but I would think they do.

Not sure if someone could cross it but Oldsmobile used Rinshed-Mason #E29R007 red enamel. These instructions were for the 2 bbl but the 4 bbl air cleaner was the same color as far as I know. It has some orange to it but mostly red.

Yes, The 185 is for the 4 bbl high compression engine. 185 horse power.

I lost track of his name but I believe it is a car located right there in Lansing.

I suppose you could drill the washer offset and make it like original but if you use the offset style you will have to take more off the hole in the housing for the head of the socket to fit.

If you have extra outboard housings this is not to hard to do. I first cut the back off of a used inboard and then used a grinder to the outside edge till it fit inside the other. The original hole is offset and I am not sure why that is? I also got a thin fender washer that fit inside the housing with a 1/4 ID hole. I used a hole saw in a drill…[Read more]

I was looking at this today. I believe it is going to be very simple to modify an outboard side. I am taking some used parts to work tomorrow and try it on lunch. May not be something you want to do for your car but it is the way I am going on my 4 speed car till I find a couple NOS inboard housings. I will post some pictures tomorrow night if I…[Read more]

Very cool, I never seen that document before.

OK, Just found it, It has a separate part number for the 4bbl heads of the 63 manual trans and the 4bbl heads of the 63 hydromatic trans. Looks like the Jetfire all have the same heads so I believe all the Jetfire would be 10.25

I did not know the parts book give the thickness. I had not looked these up. As far as compression, I thought I read it was only the automatic 63 Cutlass that had the higher compression? That also confuses me because I can’t find anything in the parts book that is different for them to gain that compression? Did they have special heads with less…[Read more]

John, Is your automatic flywheel out of a Jetfire?

I have an extra Jetifre 10 inch manual flywheel but don’t have the clutch disc and pressure plate for it. Not sure I would ever find those to match the flywheel.

The only one I know for sure is a real Jetfire auto flywheel is in my automatic car. The engine I got from Ken I would assume has one from a Jetfire but not sure. I just sold my last Cutlass engine so I don’t even have a known Cutlass version. I would assume weight also, Just wonder if the Jetfire would be the lighter of the two to allow it to rev…[Read more]

I was playing with trying to mold one yesterday. It was just a quick try to see if it was possible. Looks like I will be able to make them but need to put a little more time into getting the consistency correct. These are a little lumpy. I think I will be able to make a nice set after a couple tries.

I forgot about that but I did just see that the other day. I need a 4 speed one, I wonder what version Waldron’s has? The original on my car was rusted out and I put a new one from Waldron’s on our automatic car and the original automatic one on the 4 speed car. It bolted up and not hitting anything… I saved the original one so I need to…[Read more]
