Hi everyone! As summer winds down (say it isn't so!!) I'm starting to put together plans for the next phase in the restoration of my 1986 Olds 442 - the engine. Over the next week or so, I'll be looking to purchase parts like headers, exhaust, and related items. The stock 307HO is still in the...

I am working on my 86 442 and trying to do the build on a budget. My car club has graciously offered to do the engine swap so I have no money that I have to put out in labor. I just need to get the parts/motor ect. The first option was rebuilding the 307. Cheap, but I think there are better...

First, my apologies for being late on some of these, but I had three great experiences buying from forum members and wanted to sing their praises. 88hurstolds - Purchase two front seats and interior trim from him late last year (again sorry for being late!). Communication was excellent...

Help! I ordered a double-din head unit and it is a little to big to fit in the space on my 86 Olds 442. Has anyone done this install before or have any pictures to share, I'd like to get to work on it once I get a few ideas in my head. I don't want to butcher the car up to much - I'd like to...

Anyone know how to remove the shift know on a 1984 Olds 442? It's the floor mounted center console shifter. I see 2 holes on the backside of it. Do I use those to release the clips to remove it? I want to take the center console out to work on it. Thanks!

Hello Everyone- I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Al and I live in Ocean County, NJ. I just purchased a 1986 442. It's not my first G-Body. My father and grandfather both owned these cars, everything from 1972 through the 1980's. I also had a 1984 previously, in addition to a 1984...
