Fred Got this from Jeff. I only kept the bottom half of the bolt (pinion shaft retaining bolt?), I don't know what I did with the top part with the head, probably chucked it across the garage :) Anyway, I sent a pic of half the bolt and a diagram in the olds book pointing to it. If you have one you can send it to: SSGT Jeff XXXXXXXXXXXXXX. Then what ever it costs I can send a check or ? to pay for it. I appreciate the help lots. I am trying to keep my Olds running over here in Japan and that in its self is a challenge, but the Internet helps out enormously as well as the olds digest. Jeff

I have a 68 442 type O rear out back, Will my "pinion Shaft Retaining bolt" be the same as his 65 cutlass???? --- Fred Nissen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Infinite Space Systems, Inc. wrote: > > Jeff, > Maybe he means the pinion shaft lock screw?
