Hello all, I have a couple of boxes of NOS TRW VL-59 hydraulic lifters and want to know if these are worth something to anyone or should I just deep six them since they were fairly inexpensive when they were still being made.
Do you know the application? If not I'll look them up for you. Those appear to be the .921 diameter Oldsmobile lifters.

If they have the holes they will fit all the applications above. If they don't have the oil holes, they only fit the 64 and earlier stuff with rocker arm shaft oiling.
