Re: 1961 Olds 88 2 Dr Sedan sneak preview
Pulled off the intake manifold tonight to remove the non working heater control valve and broke the frozen distributor loose. Put in a bypass pipe, had to "re-machine" the aluminum thermostat housing and also checked the thermostat . Set the timing, Got it all back together and took it for a midnight test drive down to the local Masonic Lodge. The heater gets hot , but not hot,hot but good enough for around here. I also got the passing gear to work. This old car runs like hell!
I kind of like the white wheels, this car also had a light blue roof originally
Intake manifold gaskets ARE reusable, at least metal ones
Hand milling
thermostats are reusable also
pays to save gaskets,modified to work
Notice, no front doors or windows on the Masonic lodge
