I am a proud new owner of a 73 Hurst/Olds. I have had some work done to the motor,and working on the body this winter.I have a question....can a gear drive for a pontiac 455 work in a olds 455?

Welcome!


What do you mean by "gear drive"?


C.J.

Gear drive as in no more timing chain

*slaps forehead* Of course!


Nope. Diferent sizes.


C.J.

Thanks for your help,and now I will stick to doing my own work, on my car.

A mechanic told you that?


C.J.

Yep !!! And he ain't around me no more. I have to quit being lazy,and just get dirty.And since I have,I look at my car with a whole different perspective.It's a rare 1 and it's mine. 73 H/O till the wheels fall off............................................... .......... ......................

Only 1097 of them built. Is yours white or black?


May I suggest you contact and join the Hurst/Olds Club of America. www.hurstolds.com You'll find tons of tech info and good people there.

I have a white one..my option were,swivel seats,A/C,SSII wheels,white on white,full consol,sport mirrors, and I have to see what I have....a motorized sunroof,not a pop up,455,th400,and the anti-slip rear,and I just opened the glove box after 14 yrs with it stuck closed, and I have all of the original paper work(even the tags off the windows)and owners manual.I picked it up for $4500.00about a year ago, and now I'm hooked.I LOVE this car, it sure is an attention getter.I can't wait to get to some Olds shows, Thanks for asking, and keep em rollin.......................

Want to see pics.
