This would be a general question I believe for most of the people on this forum. Not sure if this is the right forum BUT didn't want it to be based on a specific model because I have many across the spectrum. I am in search of a shop that has knowledge / expertise in not only our era vehicles...

Was wondering if anyone here has purchased the Olds grilles from them and if so what were your thoughts? Fit, function, robustness, chrome , any improvements on the mounting posts to make them more robust, any things to look out for... Thinking of purchasing the argent / gray grilles for an...

Very good communication - gets back to you promptly Fast shipping (forgot to add parts packaged very well) Easy & great to work with and would not hesitate to buy from again 8) 8)

I may be nearing the point where I'm going to have to replace the battery in the Olds, currently have a Die Hard that was in there when I bought it and it has served me well considering the way I've abused it. But it's getting to the point where if I don't start the car after a couple weeks it...

Got the latest Jegs catalog in my inbox and they had a new link to a wheel / tire selection site: http://www.autowaretech9.net/nextwheels/jegs_ec.htm Not sure how new / old the site is but you can: Bring up your make/model - I brought up an 81 - 86 Supreme coupe Shows the stock wheel size...

Group, Have a question concerning retaining the power antenna connection while also running an amp. I have an aftermarket Pioneer head unit and it has a power antenna lead coming out the back of it (+12V when the radio is turned on, no voltage when head unit is off / ignition is off). My...

Have another oil and filter question. Was talking to a couple of buddies here and the subject of oil and oil filters came up. We're all running flat-tappet engines (mine the Olds of course, one a freshly rebuilt 402 (396) in a Chevelle SS and the other a 350 chevy) and going over the best...

All, Have a set of Salon / 442 headlight bezels and need to scuff & repaint the black portion on them. Was wondering what the best way to scuff them up (was thinking a red scotch brite pad) and then paint them. Figure since the weather's breaking & we're going through a mini-heatwave (hit...

I have a set of the cast aluminum 14X6 wheels (option code N78 or N76?) that came on the '78 - '81 Cutlass, more so the '79 & '80 W-30 cars, and am in need of lug nuts. Does anyone know the type of lugs these wheels need? From what I remember on the first set I had on the '81 Calais they...

Guys, FINALLY got around to posting some pics of the Cutlass. Figured it's time to post some (hope not too many) and this way when I'm asking questions you guys will better understand what I'm talking about. Made two albums (one for engine and rear end, other for interior / exterior shots)...

Not sure if this is the right place to ask or if this has been asked before, but was wondering if anyone has recommendations / advice on motor oil. As many know I'm running a '70 350 Olds (with '72 #7a heads), that's built up a little and was wondering about the newer oils not running the same...

Am looking to put a locking gas cap on the '86 Cutty and was wondering if I should get the pre-venting or the standard gas cap? Stant has both so want to make sure I get the right one. Since the swap I'm not running any emissions device except I do have the canister still connected, so no EGR...

Guys (& gals), Not sure if this should be posted here or in the body / trim section. Am finishing up the few ods/ends on the '86 Cutlass to hopefully get it out of winter hibernation (though it is snowing here today). Anyway, have a question on the power antenna. My mast is broken and was...

Guys, Am starting to price out / make a parts list for swapping in a 200-4R for the 86 Cutlass and have a few questions. Currently I’m running a warmed-over 350 Olds/TH350 combo (originally a 307/TH200). I know I’ll need a new cross-member, TV cable and TCC controller (or at least a 12V...

It's been a while since I've posted and am hoping you guys can help. I have the rally gauges (volts, temp, fuel, oil) on my 86 Cutlass and just like my on 81 Salon they are reading low. I do not believe it's a battery issue as the battery/charging system is 12.5V engine off and 14.35V while...

Have a question for the board. Was there ever an application of the 700-R4 used in a g-body, particularly the 85-87 442s? I was under the impression that only the 200-4Rs were used in the g-body. I know of and have looked up the diffs for the Gs (7.5 or 8.5), but thought the onyl trans...

Good day, I am new to this forum and need some help in decoding VIN numbers/option codes. I am in search of any information, links, books that can fully decode a VIN for a G-Body Olds. I can find the basic decoders but I am wanting a little more breakdown, like info on each digit in the...
