Hi.

Just wondering if anyone knows where I can get an Oil Slinger for my 1977 Transam please?

I've been searching the net but not having much luck.

Thanks.

Not sure where Ian's shop is these days, but he's called Fleetmaster.

What....is an "oil slinger"?????

Thanks.

I sent him an email last Monday and am still waiting a reply.

Tried Butler Performance, Fbody, searched for days on google and emailed Pontiworld.

Closest I came to an oil slinger part was one for a hemi in NZ.

It seems my engine was running without one for a while.

The engineer in OZ noticed it missing when he pulled it apart to clean the block for the new parts.

It's not until now that I'm struggling to find a part.  Normally everything is available aftermarket for the TA.

Thanks for all the replies guys.

Leigh as far as I know it's a metal washer that deflects oil from the timer seal.  I think it sits inside the timing cover.

What's funny is I don't know what any of that is.  He he.

Just memorizing what the engineer told me.  Sounds good though.

Like Leigh, I've been in Pontiacs a long time.  I've never heard of a thing called an oil slinger in a Pontiac engine...

I had never heard of one before the engineer told me.

I then asked Butler in the states and he didn't flinch when I mentioned it.

Basically said he didn't have a used or new one.

I'm sort of stuck now.  Might explain why I can't find one.
