Getting the GM part number for the Fleetline fenders, then comparing that number to the Pontiac part number will give you the rock solid answer...
As I said, our thoughts do change, as we "mature". My wife, though, still says I act like I'm 12 ! :confused:

Spaz, Read pages 6-99 to 6-101, regarding the rebuild of a 216/235 water pump. Begin on 6-99 under major service. Is this something you want your...
I certainly didn't do what's pictured, in order to pull a torque tube Chevy tranny.
Spaz, are you aware of what is done to rebuild a water pump?? If your mind is set on another part replacement, just replace the water pump, don't...
I have been going to KKOA events since 1981. I can remember the days of 2,000 entries, was like walking back into the '50's, for certain. In the...
I have given this "water pump" concern more thought. If the water pump was "seized" and stopped moving, the belt would get hot and break, because...
"I have never heard of a water pump binding so bad that it bogged an engine down" It sounds like parts and labor are now being thrown at the car,...
I cannot speak for a Ford torque tube assembly, but a Chevrolet transmission can be removed, from the Chevy torque tube vehicle, without removing...
Who is making the springs for Jamco ?
Follow the info that 56sedandelivery spoke of, in his post. DZ Auto has a library of pics, have seen the clutch linkage and chain link, in one of...
As I grow older, some of my memories are not as vivid. If I recall correctly, back in the early '60's, before Mr Gasket existed, Joe lived on a...
Sadly, no. We would have been doing it 40 years ago.
If you read specs in the Dana or Spicer Manuals, they agree that carb base should be level, with tranny output shaft down 3*, and the pinion shaft...
The info below is listed from the website of Valley Custom. For my money I would stick with what you have, until the time comes for the rear end...

Interesting comments on this thread .... "216 and 235 crate motors" ....." 235 valve covers on a 250" and "getting a good 235 engine or bigger...
Now you have Sadie to raise ........ but know the spirit of Shela will still be riding with you and Sadie ! God Bless, you gave Sadie a lifetime...
If you want to help the brakes on your '50, ditch the "HUCK" brakes and go with the '51 and up "BENDIX" brakes. A dual master cylinder with the...
Bottom line here is the "tech" didn't know how to align a '56 Chrysler or didn't want to fool around with rust, and seized this or that. Maybe you...
Looking real good, RMONTY.
Scratched my comments, just RE-READ Butch's statement about the 250.
Rather be safe than sorry. Change the oil and filter, if it has one, once a year to keep the inside clean .... with no condensation build up.
Wing tips (fender guards) now sold. Thanks, Bob.
If you plan to keep this car, spend $20 to $25 and buy yourself a GM/Chevrolet Service Manual. Click on the link, taken from the manual, to read...
