Re: [MBZ] O.T. - Interchange Manual
I've had decent luck finding the original part number and then doing google searches on the number until you find a good parts site. There you put the part number in and it lists all the applications/cars. Worked for heater cores anyway.

[MBZ] O.T. - Interchange Manual
I spent a portion of this afternoon, including the game, to search online for a free data base/interchange manual. I learned that the Bible is the Hollander Interchange Manual. Beyond that I did not find anything useful. I prefer not to pay the price for an expensive manual. Here is the situation. I have a 1960 Olds and one of the trunk lid hinge springs (a torsion bar) just snapped so I need a new one. Odds are some other GM model will have the identical part. Knowing which ones will give me a wider range of possibilities to shop. Best case scenario would be a Tri Five Chevy as parts are more readily available for them because of the demand. While I am at it, I will search for hood springs, as they are just as likely to break. Also, I need a new master cylinder. Last time I changed out the MC (in the nineties), the parts counterman told me they had none for the 60 Olds, and that a 57 Chevy MC would fit. I bought that and installed it, so I know that part is interchangeable, but I do not know which of the manual master cylinders for 1957 is the exact fit. (I am guessing it is the MC2). I will welcome any advice on how to proceed to find out which parts I can obtain from other makes/models/years of GM cars. __ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 11107 (20150201) __ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.
