found out that I didn't properly adjust the bands so this may be the source of my problems. I watched a 6 part video of a hydramatic trans rebuild...
I tried this routine several times and now the trans will go into reverse as soon as I shift to reverse and not creep forward but I get a delay...
Finally getting back to the Olds. Too many other projects. I vaguely recall reading that procedure but don't remember where. Anyway did it two...
Lots of good info on the HAMB I'll give it a shot and post results Thanks
Phil, first your seal installation sounds very familiar I used a plastic pop bottle. I just closed my manual after some reading and you are right...
First thanks for the reply. If you mean did I remove the pressure regulator when I did the rebuild, yes, after the rebuild, no. It makes sense...
Looking for some help with an issue I'm having with my 53 Olds hydramatic transmission. Did a complete rebuild with the help of a few sources on...
I found a schematic diagram from a search on "hydro electric " windows if that helps. I don't have any pics to post right now.
Sweet Caddy same color as my 98 but with a black roof. I've eliminated my switches as the source of my problem but thanks for the input.
Yes electrical issue for sure. Just removed all the wires on all of the switches and individually energized each window seperately and still have...
Good points gonna start where I can see by disconnecting the wires to the main switch and touch wires seperately. Still want to find the other end...
The pump is working and had the right side windows working up and down but now the right door window moves when I push any of the four drivers...
Anyone out there with experience on early Olds power windows? Spent a lot of time trying to get all of the windows working on my 53 98 Olds. I...
Just want to do a follow up and update on my Olds engine oiling issue. With the help of a fellow member I discovered that the rear driver side oil...
Further research found that with the nimble fingers of a neurosurgeon there is the possibility of installing the plug without separating the...
Want to thank my new Olds guru friend Greg White who nailed it. When I got the 324 bare block it was cleaned and ready for machining. I didn't...
Started with a 324 block bored .030 over, used 303 crank, rods and oil pump, a Delta regrind 303 cam with Delta supplied Chevy lifters, ELG...
Good point with flooding issue. I'll have to rethink my decision. I primed the pump every 1/4 rotation and lifter noise is gone but I noticed very...
Thanks for this info. I was going to use an old distributer to preoil but turned a shaft and added a flat on the hole where in slides into the...
Good point. I'm gonna thy running it with the valve covers off and see what I find. I read a post from a guy who used 4 pushrods with oil holes,...
Ultimately that may be the issue, I didn't soak the lifters. I didn't want to do the 20 minute cam break in if there was a oil pressure issue with...
They said that once I got the correct length pushrods which I did, the lifters should work fine.
I got an adjustable pushrod gage from Summit and determined the proper length and bought a set so I covered those bases. Made a rod to turn the...
Have a 324 with Delta Cams reground cam, push rods and chevy lifters supplied by Delta. I used the crank, rods, oil pump and heads from my...
