    Hey, I have a question on 56 motors... They used Hydramatics on the cheaper base 88, and those cranks are drilled for the pilot bushing like a standard shift. I know the Hydra 56 motor was a "V" code on the stamped ID number, and I assume std shift was also V. But the 56 Jetaway was "A" coded, and I could never find out if those A 56's were drilled for the bushing, because they did not need it like a Hydramatic. Is yours a 56? and is it A-code.... and is it drilled?

    You might get lucky with a search on the Cad starter post on hamb. maybe

    My crank is drilled for the pilot bushing, I will check the code.
    On the Cad starter deal, I have looked at a few photos, They arent REAL clear, but I think its a "non-starter":rolleyes:. It looks like the solenoid on the cad starter is clocked inline with the bolt holes, and the starter holes in the bellhousing are canted about 30 degrees to the frame rail. The holes in the Olds starter changeover are verticle. It looks to me like the back of the solenoid will not clear the oil filter pad on the block. I think mounting an Olds starter upside down is the only way.
    If I run the 6 volt starter on 12 volts, it will spin faster(good thing) right?


    GRRRRRRR! Did a little more research on the HAMB, looks like I just spent 2 hours searching for photos of the wrong @&$! Cad starter:mad::rolleyes:. Should be the cad flathead v8 starter. Im done for now, I will dig further this evening...

    I'm so full of sh!t...as if Mr. ocd could have just let this lie till evening...:rolleyes:
    I have looked at a few cad flathead pics, I am about 75% that this will work, and 95% sure I can get a cad flathead starter with one phone call.
    The pics I found of cad flattys LOOK like (the photos I found arent totally clear) the starter mount holes are verticle, and In the photo I saw with a starter installed the solenoid is canted towards the pass. frame rail. I will check ring gear tooth count on the cad flatty, but my guess is, this will work, and the solenoid with be oriented so it points upwards, canted slightly away from the block.

    Was reading on an allard forum, the cad flatheads apparently use a 156 tooth flywheel, but you can swap the pinion gears on the starter. I can get the Cad flatty starter, so I will need a pinion gear for a '49/'53 cad starter, and Bobs yer uncle... I think...

    I thought so. The drop out center 4.10 ten bolt cost me $75 and its a tri-5 housing. I didnt even haggle with that guy, asked him how much, he said $75, I said DONE! I got the mallory for $100, '37/'41 spindles/kingpins were $50, got a '58 ford horn ring, delco generator, couple other odds and sodds, didnt pay more than $20 for any of that stuff.
    Heathen, the olds stuff I got from Paul wasnt actually for sale at the swap meet, I'd just arranged with Paul to pick it up there. We actually did the deal over the phone and by pm over the last month or so. I did find the mallory in the swap, but I snagged it about 5 minutes after the gates opened. Gotta be fast...

    Jim, I love your signature line. Goes a long ways to explaining how I wound up with 8 friggen cars!

    Paul, that tailshaft in the pic is the end of the green 2x4 394, right? I saw another pic of that motor in a chopped Model A coupe with chromies and pie crusts on another thread. Is that what you are going to do with it? I really liked the looks of that deal, and it should really stomp. Neat car.

    By the way, remember the two aircraft mechanics carrying on about my engine cradle? " oh man, thats not safe, that'll never make it home, Not structurally sound, yadda, yadda, yadda"? Well, not only did it make home, the motor is still sitting on it in my garage...those airplane guys are such a bunch of old ladies....:rolleyes::p

    Made it on Saturday, it was a good swap meet seen some pretty deals on items. Picked up a Stewart Warner Hollywood gauge panel for $40, nice chrome, no gauges or insert.
    That's a nice wheel balancer, used my Dad's like that quite a bit. There was another of the same style with the plastic base for $45.

    I used a balancer like that in a Firestone store in Waco TX for the three years I worked there and Dad had a 57 Olds that ran a J-2 like that including the same air cleaners.

    I have a very good friend that ALWAYS has a booth set up there twice a year, he's even paid for two spots INSIDE, but he's decided not to go. I guess he's getting tired of have to "deal" with everyone, and their B.S. He's primarily a Tri-Five Chevrolet vendor. I was going to let him take a big supply of some of my new parts, but since he's not going to be a vendor, I might just go see what's what on my own. SHAGGY, have you ever used the OD transmissions you got from me? I'd like to talk to you about them. Any interest in a small journal 302 rotating assembly (all NEW)? Send me a P.M. I am Butch/56sedandelivery.
