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.

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.......................
