Its an 85 307 from a 442, Is it do-able? I have a vacuum advance distributor now but i cant get it to run right. The engine should be fine. The block in in great shape and the heads were just remanufactured so im sure it a timing issue. Thinkin maybe the problem is with the distributor? I...

I recently put in a 307 out of a 84 442, has a reconditioned set of 7A heads, non CCC carburator and vacuum advance distributor. It has a mean misfire when I give it gas. Getting stressed out with this car, could use some input.

I hoisted the engine on the exhaust manifold bolts as I've done many times when I heard a slight compression hiss followed by a mixture of oil and coolant pissing out of the water pump. Could I have seriously blown the gasket or damaged the heads simply from hoisting the engine on the exhaust...

So right out the gate I have a blown head gasket on my 72 olds 350. I kinda jumped the gun one day when I took it for a quick emergency drive with the PCV valve unplugged and the breather closed off(please don't make me explain why) I'm assuming it just built up enough pressure and blew the...

About a week ago leaving from work I realized after taking off I had a severe vacuum leak. Figured I'll deal with it when I get to home. Turned out the PCV hose had come unplugged. No biggie right? Well now when I start up I get a vicious misfire. Checked my plugs and adjusted my carburetor a...

I've been googling 'ticking' or 'pinging' and still not sure where I qualify. I semi rebuilt a 72 olds 350, tore it down cleaned it up, replaced the gaskets oil pump and all the necessary tune up parts. I've since been driving it and drives pretty good but not great. It has a firm 'tick tick...

Just noticing this but about a month after a rebuild I'm seeing burnt oil on my intake manifold? Guessing my manifold gasket is somehow leaking already?

Recently dropped a 72 olds 350 in my 86 cutlass and currently get a firm 10 mpg. I don't expect great mileage but after a drive I get a stronge smell of pure gas. It's annoying, feel like I'm just pissin out perfectly good fuel. Granted a I'm still using the CCC carb off my 307 until I'm able to...

I'm actually doing a full engine and transmission swap in my 86 cutlass. I'm ditching my old 307 and 200 for a 350 and th400 out of an old 72 cutlass. The thing is I got the engine and transmission already in a 85 regal, drove it around for awhile before maki g the decision and drove great. I'm I the...

I didnt think it would be so impossible to find a diagram of a 72 2bbl but have had slim luck. AutoZone.com actually does have a nice section of simple vacuum diagram but it dont go past 76. Hell a simple clear picture of a 2bbl would help at this point.

I'm swapping my 86 307 for a 72 350 rocket with a 2 jet carburetor. Naturally my thoughts are to simply rebuild and keep my quadrajet carb from the 307 and put it on the350 (with an adaptor plate) I've seen and heard good and bad things about my carburetor so I'm hesitant as to wether I should...

I started rebuilding the 307 in my 86 cutlass, after dumping a bunch of money in it I came across a 72 350 Rocket for a steal so I now have a half the parts for a 307 just sitting around. I know not much is interchangeable from a 86 307 to a 72 350, still curious if the water pump is one of...
