What are the measurements of the tires of the Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser 1972?

Are these questions asking for tire air pressures?

Its the wrong one....

sounds like a vapor lock. older cars needed a set of points . they kept firing times in sync with fuel delivery , valves opening/closing try that.

The firing order for your Olds is:

Firing order 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 --------- front ' 2 4 6 8 ' of ' 'distributor rotates counter vehicle ' 1 3 5 7 'clockwise ---------

water control valve screwed onto the intake with hoses attached to it

Either fuel or spark is missing. Pull #1 plug wire and insert a small screwdriver into the wire end and holding screwdriver handle place metal portion next to but not touching any bolt on motor. When turning engine, you should see spark jump from screwdriver to bolt. If so, you have spark. Check fuel, either on the fuel rail by pushing shader valve (Looks like fitting on tire). With key on, should emit fuel. Keep face clear. This will identify which system you need to address.

it should be stamped on the intake manifold front right as you face the motor maby 1.8.4.3.6.5.7.2 in one of those formats

I believe that is all run by vacume, being that old vacume hoses can be brittle or broke. You might try National Parts Depot, Original Parts Groupe, even some of your major auto parts stores may carry some of the parts you may need, When i restored my 67 chevelle i got a lot of my heater parts thru N.P.D. and Advance Auto and they all have on line catalogs.
