Picked up an olds motor the number on block is 554964 3A looked it up it’s a 1979 model. What I’m wanting to do is take out my 307 and put this motor in it. Talked with Dick Miller and he says no problem getting 300 horsepower out of it. I already have other cars with more horsepower just...

Found out the problem was the gear box turned the Allen head screw a 1/4 turn and now the car steers like I remember it.

Well I’ve been having issues with the steering so I checked all the bolts, steering shaft is a Jeep, new plastic part at the firewall, but when out driving her, she wants to wander especially when you hit a bump. Thinking maybe my front shocks went bad again? I have global west tubular a arms...

Replaced the original shaft with a Jeep shaft yrs ago . Going to check my tires next then possibly look into the steering column itself.

The global west tubular A-arm is at the top, the bottom part is the original part. Never had any real issues till I burned up the bearing on the front passenger side then ordered the wrong spindles and had them installed only to have to get the correct ones and put it all back together again...

Well I finally made it over to my other garage and found that I have Bilstein shocks and they are the correct ones. Question when you grab a hold of the steering shaft in the engine compartment does it move a little bit because mine does. Thinking also it might be the tires going to check next...

With that being said what type of shocks do you guys recommend I don’t have a budget so price is not going to make my decision I live by the saying “the quality remains long after the price has been forgotten “ Thanks guys I’m hoping this will work in fact I know it will

I’m thinking the shocks

It’s wandering but I think the problem is the shocks it’s a long story but as soon as someone brought up shocks it dawned on me the wrong ones are on the car

I have a 1984 Hurst/Olds I put global west tubular A arms on it with spindles from a 77 old cutlass for bigger brakes. I also sent out the gear box and had it rebuilt but here lies the problem when driving this car it seems to want to float in the front also have brand new suspension and tie...

My plan was to scrap everything but the block and have it bored possibly then figure out what heads will work best. Everything on my 307 like the exhaust, starter, performer intake I think will work on this motor. Or would I be better off to find an older let’s say 1972 Oldsmobile 350. Also I...

Picked up an Olds engine today the original owner died picked it up for a couple cases of beer hopefully this was a good deal let me know your thoughts. Figured if anything went wrong with the 307 in the H/O this block will fit nicely.

A set of used reverse lights just to have, paid 80.00 for them didn’t think that was a bad price. They are actually in really good condition evidently the person I bought them from must have had them in storage this whole time.

I’ll be there doing the first 3 stops leaving tomorrow for Kentucky I’ll be in the 84 Hurst/Olds

anyone taking there cars on the tour.
