Funny--My first car was a '57 Old's Super 88. As you may know, all the '57 Old's had camshaft failures due to too much spring pressure. Needing to replace that cam and lifters is what got me started on being a car guy. I remember we pulled the pan to clean it out, but the bearings looked OK, so we buttoned it up and ran it. Put J2 on it and sold it so I could buy my '64 GTO. Loved the Old's--but not as much as the GTO!!
