I was happy the person I bought it from had a 601 catalog number decal to go with it and he threw it in at no extra charge. This was usually only available with factory installed batteries. I almost made this stuff myself, but I got lazy.

He didn't have an "eye" decal, so I made my own. Came out pretty good I think. I enhanced it to make it more visible here, but it will actually be darker to match the battery top. I did make myself a non-HD battery version (730 catalog number) of the smaller 87 battery decal as well based on an original:

And I got my oil cap too! I'll be putting that on tomorrow (long, arduous job. Might need to pack a lunch :) ). MAYBE do the decals for the battery top as well.

I always thought the Olds 307 took 10W40 factory. I usually used a 5W30 or 10W30 in them but years later thought it was mentioned as10W40 factory.

We used a 16 or 18", 4" deep cake pan with a universal weatherstrip around the top on my buddy's 71 Z28. Just fastened it underneath the open element base; worked great.

technically bought yesterday, but ordered all new body bushings and bolts from Dixie MC and then also won a set of Vintage Holley aluminum valve covers that i'm going to clean and polish up to put on the 455.
