Re: A quick introduction! My new(to me) 79 Cutlass.
Here's some interior pics:
As for the rear.. I just want a nice cruiser, if I want to drive like a jerk I have my Fiero. Lol. This is just going to be my nice daily driver. Quick question though.. My gas guage is stuck on full.. Thoughts?

It looks like there is someone else besides me on this forum from Dela-Where.
Congrats, but I was going to buy that car! :shock:
Well maybe not, but I when I saw it on Craigslist, I considered calling about it. It really looks in good shape and I think you got yourself a great cruiser.

Lol, it happened so randomly. Saturday I was originally looking at an 85 C10 truck in Townsend, it was crap. So I stumbled upon this as we were coming back up. As soon as we pulled up I saw it and thought "..This has to be mine." It even has a decent stereo which is a huge plus. My job's HQ is in Dover, whereabouts are you? I live up in Newark around Polly Drummond Hill Road.

Very nice Calais guy! I may have a gear for you if you would want to trade for that 373? I have a couble. Either way nice car!

I live and work in Dover. You would think I would have learned my lesson after leaving the second time,

My dad is on the hunt for gears through his friend, and if he does it, he'll end up buying them for me(can't argue with that). So we'll see how that goes first, lol.
Here's my quick to do for Friday:
- Take out the gauge cluster, replace all the bulbs(there's only one working right now).
- Fix the tach, it's very jumpy. I'm assuming the jumper on the back of it is loose.
- Figure out why the Fuel gauge reads full all the time.
- Figure out why the voltage, temperature & oil pressure gauges don't work.
Any hints are appreciated!

Yep I'd imagine the jumper on the tach is loose..solder it. Clean the circuit board with a pencil eraser or very fine sandpaper...that should help most of the gauges...the fuel gauge could be bad or the sending unit could be bad, just have to see what all works when you clean up the circuit board & solder the tach jumper.

Very clean Cutlass. I also dig the Fiero Formula, or rather, the Fiero II S (If you get that reference).
