    For a gbody cutlass with a BBO, quadrajet, and stock air cleaner, which intakes are low enough to clear under stock hood without modifications? Also concerning fitment with an HEI.

    OLDS Olds Serpentine systems

    Has anyone had luck with converting from V belts to serpentine in Oldsmobile Gbody? Specifically big block in in Gbody. I was looking at the CVF or March systems but I don't care for the way they look, and not sure how they fit with the steering box or fit under the hood. It looks tall. Then I...

    05 Sierra engine/trans swap

    I didn't know where to post this question, so here it is. I have a 05 Sierra with 5.3/4L60. I'd like to swap trans and maybe engine to 6.0/4L80 without too much modification to computer and harness. I believe the 80 harness is different. Would a 4L70, 75 use the same harness as the 60? This...

    Title transfer during COVID

    In Michigan, are the DMV offices open? How difficult is it to transfer a Texas title to Michigan purchaser during Covid? I would think an appointment with Michigan DMV and proper signatures and a little money, right? There's a guy from Michigan trying to sell me a car that he has, but it is...

    A/C condenser paint or not

    So I'm replacing my old style condenser that was that came in my 83 Cutlass with a new style that works better with 134a. It's a Specter and it's aluminum, and bright. Should I paint it? How much if any would paint decrease the performance of it from doing what it's designed to do?

    CUTLASS Lower mode door/diaphram valve

    Still can't get the lower mode dual diaphragm door near gas pedal to move fully. It starts to move, only about 1/2 inch, and blows to the floor. It will not fully direct air to main vents. Is there a way to remove the valve without taking the complete HVAC out the car?

    I replaced the outers with a set of NOS from Mike's Montes, fit good. The inners were repop style (not sure who made them) and they don't fit correctly. My original inners have a very slight curve upward in the last few inches towards the front of the door. The repop are flat and do not sit...
