Olds spindles
Does anyone out there know what spindles will bolt up to a 57 Olds? For example; will 56 Olds spindles bolt to a 57 or whatever.
I am looking to install drop spindles to my 57 Olds, I have called around and it seems like if you have anything newer than 56 your SOL. Any info or suggestions out there?
Thanks!

The only direct interchange is 57 and 58 Olds.Anyone can restore an old car, it takes a man to cut one up

Check and see if your lower a arms have a plate rivited to it that holds the spring,if it does all you have to do is remove the big rivits and make a 1 inch spacer to go in between and it will lower the front around 3 inches and not affect the ride too much. I think there are companies that make spacer kits but I cant remember who at this time.
I tried rubber isolators between the frame and pump, but it made little difference. I don't mind spinning the motor over to refill the carb(s), it allows time to build oil pressure, jmho..
