Ratio was 1.5 from 49 to 51, then changed to 1.8 in 52 and later. I once had a few different years of rockers and noticed that the oil holes...
Stock distributor for me: This is a 324 but with a Edmunds 303 2x2 manifold which was made for twin 1949-1950 Olds Rochester AA back draft carbs...
Above link pictures, Notice the oblong hole in the main Hurst side bracket for the speedo cable.

The other thread is for the 51-64 Olds selector transmissions. Your 1950 Olds is one year only based on Cadillac side shifted (and older LaSalle...

Found a YouTube video of it driving by the camera guy at around 7:50 minute mark. At least you can see the tires don't stick out, and a glimpse...
the rear end on the chain is not Olds. It is a 1935 LaSalle rear axle, look at the big nut holding the rear drum hub on. I don't know what your...
Both of you are correct, it's missing some of the trans pattern holes, not the so called dual pattern that I was thinking. How did they miss...
all of the plate adapters made back in the 50s and 60s were drilled with two patterns, to fit the 49-up Olds engines as well as the early version...
Here we go, "oem switched to 12v to use lighter wire and switches". Yea right. Explain why economy car manufacturer Volkswagen waited until...
Yes it is the later starter for 324 it seems. It can't be the 1953 303 12 volt for the smaller tooth count flywheel, because it doesn't have the...
There is no need to give up on the mini starter, I hope everyone didn't think that I said don't use it if you already bought it. I agree that...
. Best idea yet IMO. I recall drilling a half inch hole in an early squarebody Chevy backing plate to get to the adjuster.... I just don't recall...
Do you remember over 50 years ago working in a repair shop, we had to use a hydrometer in each cell to record the specific gravity when doing...
I've had some memory loss about the starters. I just can't say for sure, but I keep thinking that the starters are different designs and if true,...
My advice is don't sell the changeover and don't toss the old starter yet. My 32 with a Olds 324 has been in the road since 2016. I was using...
One more thing to help you from making calculation mistakes with the spring.. You cannot only measure the thickness of 4 leaves to be able to...
I don't know why nobody is giving advice on the rear height and stiffness. So I will try to help, my car is full fender with more weight from my...
That middle picture at the scenic overlook with the driver looking out there, is a future heirloom. Great photography.
No offense intended, but time passes by fast. You didn't say your age but you've had the pieces for decades and nothing was done when you were...
Can you move the fork to tell if the throw out bearing is too long, and it's already hitting the pressure plate? Or does the bearing feel like it...
Well, these so called sellers not wanting to give out account info..... they didn't bother to talk to their bank managers. A manager would...

I never said one bad word about the car, or how it's built. However, I know the serial number is bogus, the tag is bogus too. Nobody on here...
No, Ford never used a tag for serial number on a 32. Never happened. Some are also saying it could be an assigned number and they can register...
I'm a bit unclear on what you meant. That is not a Ford number for a 1932. A 32 Ford didn't use a tag, it was stamped in several places on the...
