Are the t-tops the same from 78-88 on G-bodies? I saw an ad on craigslist for a pair of 83 Cutty T-tops and wondered if they all interchange. Thanks

Okay, this is simply a hypothetical idea from boredom on a rainy Saturday, but follow me on this. I know that these weren't available in '79. However, after looking at some info regarding how Olds was able to put the Olds 350 in these cars and keep it legal, they could have done the same for...

It was funnier if you were there, but....... Today I was coming home from Indy in my '87 442 and got off on my exit. This exit is a divided highway that runs about 4 miles into Anderson, IN. In the mirror I noticed a very loud Mitsubishi Lancer (Not an Evo 8) darting thru traffic...

Okay, here's a good question. What would be a good set of shocks for my 442? I'm looking for "Bang for the Buck" factor ($100-$125). It's a daily driver (until I find a beater) so I'm looking for good handling characteristics and road feel. Ride quality is not an issue, if I want to ride...

I'll try this again.....as I've struck out with a couple folks on here. :? I am needing a wiper switch for my 1987 Olds 442. The part I need is the actual switch inside the steering column that the turn signal lever plugs into. Car has delay wipers and tilt wheel. I believe the tag on...

Tonight, I confirmed my theory on the bulbs for the euro headlamps on the 87-88 cutlass and the 86-88 monte luxury sport. As many of you know, the bulbs for both hi and lo beams are both 9004 type bulbs. 9004's are dual filament bulbs (seperate hi and lo in same bulb). My theory was that...

Okay, I'm thinking about running LED's in my '87 442 for the taillights and front turn signals. As far as the flashers are concerned, I'm certain I'll need electronic units for turn and hazard flashers in order for proper function. Am I missing anything as far as extra to make it...

On my delay wipers, when the wipers "rest" for the delay period, they are in the center of the windshield versus slightly above the stops on the cowl. How can I fix this? Thanks as always.

Hey guys. Lately, my 442 (stock 307 4bbl VIN 9)has been a little hard to start after it's warmed up and ran a while. I have to push the pedal down a little to fire it up. When it's cold, it starts up just fine with no more than the standard one-pump for the auto-choke. I'm thinking...

I'm needing the size and thread for the AIR injection holes. I'm needing some plugs, and don't have an old fitting to check with. The engine is an 87 Olds 307 HO motor from a 442. Thanks.

Okay, I've heard a few things about aluminum drums. They are obviously rare since many were replaced by iron. Obviously, they are lighter and have larger fins. Are the performance gains that big, and would manual s-10 wheel cylinders only make them that much better? My ride is a 1987 442...

I read on gbodyparts.com that there is an S-10 wheel cylinder upgrade available. I believe they are the ones from an S-10 w/ manual brakes. Are they bigger, better, direct replacement, etc. I'm looking at doing a brake job pretty soon, and would like to upgrade at that time. Thanks as...

I may may have access to an 82 Regal with a FUBAR Buick V6. An idea I had for an engine swap was using a 3800 series 2 and 4L60-E out of an 96-up F-body. Looking for inexpensive reliability and drivability, and of course, something different. Has anyone have any insight on motor mounts and...

Found this picture and article in High Performance Pontiac (July 2002). The article was written by Pete Curatolo & Thomas DeMauro. In short, it was "HPP's Hurst Grand Prix for the 80's". What if Pontiac picked up Hurst in 1985?? An unborn counterpart to the 442's, GN's and SS's of...

Here's some pics from my 1987 442. Let me know what you think.

Recently, I've had trouble with my rear window defroster (Grid-Type). Whenever I turned it on, it caused my clock/coutesy fuse to pop. I'm thinking there is a short in the system. Also this happenned when the key is "off". I'm thinking that this accessory is supposed to be on in "run"...

Hey there. I have a 1987 Olds 442 (mostly stock). I've done much of the work myself, and I'm almost finished with it.........until I find more stuff I want to do!!! Look forward to chatting with you guys.
