Hi all, just hoping somebody out there knows where I can get a factory oil dipstick for my 66.

Try this place and call them https://egge.com/product/oldsmobile-425 ... -125-bore/
I have a 66. I'm looking for a factory replacement oil dipstick and I haven't had much luck on that. I would take chrome if I had to. Do you know a place?

Make sure to buy volume 1 and 2. They come in a set. Everything specific to the Toronado is in the second book.

Hi Jelonek, you can take out only the engine but you must securely support the transmission. You do not want the transmission to move down at all. I belive there is some unbolting to do near the axles/differentials. Also take special note of the front engine mount.

Yeah plus I'm seeing now that the psi on compression should really be up around 185 190.

About 92k now. I got it at 89k and back then the car could pull fairly hard to 80 I've just never had it over that. I did change over to a blue streak coil and right after that I noticed a miss so I brought it home to examine things. That's when I noticed the intake manifold gasket is leaking oil at...

Hi thanks for the response. I do have a borescope. There is some ultra light scuffing on the cylinder walls and the top of the piston has some notable catbon buildup. I'm deciding on finding a replacement engine or rebuilding mine. Any advice would be greatly appreciated thank you.
