Hi Guys - I hate to bug you with such a trivial thing, though sure could use some help finding two discontinued GM parts if possible:
GM 22527023, which is a factory Olds rollercam thrust plate used on the '86 - '90 Olds 307 VIN Y / 9 with roller cam (retrofits perfectly into the '68 - '76 Olds 455). An overlooked fantastic factory item that I have run before in many Olds big block roller conversions over the years that I wish the aftermarket would now reproduce. (works way better than the puny little thrust button cam bolt conversion that everybody has) (shaped like a thermostat housing gasket and fits behind the timing chain secured by the two oil gallery plugs).
and
GM 8655976, which is the factory Grand National / Monte SS 200R4 governor assembly (auto shift points at 5200 +/-). A nice plug n play item that will save me from having to putz around with spring and weight changes (which is not easy on a 200R4).
After a solid decade, I am FINALLY closing in on getting my 8 liter / 488 Olds stroker project on the road this spring - hooray! But... parts that used to be commonly available have since evaporated into "unobtanium" and I cannot find them anywhere today for any amount of money (of course, right?). I have ordered these in through GM SPO many times over the years. Had I had the foresight to know better, I would have ordered in multiples, but that's a whole different discussion... Yes, I could work around these two items, though I'd rather turn the earth upside down to find them if needed. I will gladly pay a finders fee / premium for anybody that can score these two parts for me! I prefer Genuine GM NOS, though will consider good used in perfect condition if certified as in excellent condition.
Never mind Coker Tire discontinuing the reproduction 15 X 10 Olds SSII Rallye wheels I have used many times literally 6 weeks before I was ready to order (!)
I know these parts exist somewhere on somebody's shelf or stash, but cannot seem to turn them up for the life of me. https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/01/bang-1.gif https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2017/01/happy23-1.gif
Larry / mods, I know this shouldn't be here in open discussion, though please let it stay for a moment - thanks!
