Rockets! Rockets! Rockets!

I was starting to wonder if there was anywhere on the whole world wide web where anyone was talking Rockets! I have a 1956 Olds Holiday that I've had since high school and I'm now in my 40's so I know the car pretty good-also have a jet boat with a 455 olds and jacuzzi wj - a wriedt spoiler '73 vintage. Man oh man, I'm seeing parts on here that I tried like crazy to get before-I guess I'm in the right spot.Anyone want to post some links to Olds valve train tech or something-sure would be nice...thanks pete

p.s. This is probably a shot in the wind but anyone with a Rover p4 or similar-I got one and would like to make a really cool car out of it

Pete, I just acquired my first Olds in late Sept, a cherry 1962 F85
Cutlass Convertible. Been googling and ebaying for parts (same as
you I guess). Am hoping I found the right spot at last.

With only 80K orig, it has about a dozen piddling small problems
that follow 46 years of being on the road. Things like the distributor
needing the centrifugal weight pivots cleaned and lubed maybe a
Vacuum advance unit; and the blower motor lubed. Most serious
was a small gas tank leak and a leaking rear wheel cylinder..

I sure would like to see some pics of your 56. I have always thot
the 1954 and the 56 Super 88's were the two prettiest cars Olds
ever made!!

Am having a guy 'smallify' a pic for an avatar.. Maybe tonite.

Try and do a search in the classifieds, but keep checking there is alot of useful info on here at times.

I have a 1956 olds 2dr hardtop with all glass except back glass broken. Salvage title and probably messed up at that. Car sit in mothers backyard 15 years plus,not stolen but dont know how hard it will be to get the title sorted out. Been there done that hate the hassle. I do have a 1956 MOTORS manual for reference. It is NOT for sale.(Dads)
