Guess The Head Gasket.

#2
Ok. Best I got is some sort of GM head gasket. This one matches up, even with the odd kick out on the bottom of the gasket I'm holding.

I'm guessing 31-33 Chevy but not confirmed yet.

Yep ,Packard, Buick ,Pontiac, and Chrysler all had flat straight eight's from 31 -35 .
I almost bought a 2 door sedan 32 Buick with a straight eight but the guy backed out on me . I restored a 32 Buick for the guy that drove in the first group of people that where the first car across the Golden Gate Bridge when it was opened ,that was a 20 model Caddy.

I used to work at a shop for a landscape company. The old man next door would come over sometimes and talk about stuff. He used to talk about his Olds straight 8 he once owned. He said, "stomp down on that thing and it sounded like distant thunder" That's the only mental link that made me think Olds.

That was 30 years ago at least. Some things you never forget.
