    Keeping Lockup with NON CCC Carb and Distributor

    Hi Guys, I was thinking now that I have put a non-ccc carb and distributor on, what keeps us from continuing to use the ecm to lockup the converter? Is the TPS the only imput it would need? They have TPS kits for Holley, could that be wired up and have the factory convertor lockup? I don't...

    Radiator Swap - no trans fluid in radiator or lines

    Hi Guys, swapped out my radiator today for a Dewitts aluminum and dual Spal electric fan setup. When i disconnected the transmission lines they were completely empty. It is a TH2004R trans in an 83 H/O. Is this normal? Thanks, Jeff

    FYI for those going to buy ARH headers for G-Body SBO.

    Talk to owner before buying. He gave me a discount as he likes Oldsmobiles. Also, thought they had a note on the site about the starter. Also, my 2004r didn't need triming... IDK. One more thing, you might get an O2 bung installed just incase you want to do EFI or install a gauge.

    Rocket 350: I need Headers and Exhaust Feedback

    I have American Racing headers and Pypes exhaust. It has a very unique sound and i get compliments on it all the time. Note, you will need a special Powermaster starter for this to work and the headers are stainless steel and cost like it.

    1983 Hurst / Olds - R12 to R134a Conversion

You experts may know all this, but I didn’t and wanted to share with those that might not. This is the way I went and it went pretty damn good. Part listed...
