I had a 68 442 W-30 with the 400 CI engine. GM limited the mid size cars to 400 CI so the Hurst Company bought the cars incomplete and added the 455. I did some reading and found that the Hurst Olds didn't use the wilder cam on cars with an air conditioner, so the one at the sale has a bit...

Those arrows are simply the direction you turn the chuck key to tighten or loosen. The tick mark aligns to show when the chuck comes free.

Run your indicator as close to the jaws as possible and then out maybe 2". Try using a different chuck key hole to see if things change. Some chucks have the chuck key position marked that was used when tested.

I won't bid against you Chevelle fans if you don't run me up on that Hurst Olds. :cool:

Of course there are exceptions like the GM 6.2 where the thin oil has destroyed many engines. GM updated the owners manual and the oil cap to show thicker oil.

Use Fluid Film, it won't hurt the paint on anything else. In the future, look over everything and spray Fluid Film at any sign of corrosion.

I never had regular WD40 cause any problems with plastic. While it ain't a great penetrating oil it will make little mess and provides some lubrication.

Southeast of York. I look at PA as having armpits on each end with a butt in the middle. Yes, the area close around the butt gets plenty but we just get the bills.

It works on my laptop but is useless on my iPhone.

Here is a video of the damage in my area. It has a good view of the Thrie-Beam transitioning into a W type. We have bridges that were destroyed about 10 years ago and are still not open. The money goes to the big cities on each end of the state and very little for us. Here is one closed...

I think you are right, that tapered section just at the end of the twist may be where the guardrail joins a smaller section that goes into the ground. When the high water washed out that area the smaller section likely had a round piece or chunk of concrete attached to the end that rotated with...
