    3.5 inch front dash speakers

    I'm looking to replace/upgrade my front dash speakers. One of them is out and the other sometimes is very static-y . Does anyone have any recommendations for a good pair of the 3.5 inch speakers? Brands? The rear speakers seem to be perfectly fine. The car has the stock AM/FM 8-track...

    Non-gbody 1978 Olds Delta 88 Holiday coupe

    I know this isn’t a g-body but I’m selling my 1978 Delta 88 Holiday coupe. The Holiday 88 package was available on the base Delta 88s (not the 88 Royale) from 1978-80. The package consisted of bucket seats, console, sport steering wheel, and sport mirrors in the full-sized Delta. All Delta...

    G-body show Oct 28th

    Wanted to share a few photos from a car show I attended on Sat Oct 28th. It was the 3rd G-body show held at High Octane Classics on Route 20 in Auburn, MA. The weather was perfect at 80 degrees and sunny, unseasonably warm for us this time of year. They drew a large crowd, probably 110-120...

    Choke tubes interchange

    I'm trying to work on some odds and ends on my 1979 Hurst/Olds to get it back on the road soon. I'm looking to replace the 2 hot air choke tubes. My car has a 1969 Olds 350 motor in it with an Edelbrock Performer intake and the correct stock 1979 quadrajet carb. Does anyone know if the hot...

    Lots of driving - great MPG

    My daily driver is a 2016 Dodge Charger R/T Road and Track edition with the Super Track Pack. I've owned it for 4+ years and have always been happy and impressed with it. It's been a great car with no issues. I've had to do some major travelling for work, all highway, and been getting awesome...

    Foxboro Stadium Thursday night car show

    Can any of our Massachusetts (or New England) forum members confirm that the bi-monthly Thursday night car show at the Bass Pro Shop at Foxboro Stadium is actually being held? I heard from a friend on mine who said he heard it was starting up again. He couldn't confirm it. I know the...

    Factory 3.42 rear axle?

    While thumbing through my 1979 Oldsmobile chassis manual I saw the chart with the available axles for the year. There's a 3.42 listed for all Cutlass models but none of my other factory literature (dealer album, spec book, brochures, etc.) shows this application being used behind any...

    Any thoughts on these wheels?

    While thumbing through my Jan 2020 issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines again, I saw the article on page 22 about Ron Krier's 1969 Hurst Olds. He had aftermarket wheels on the car I've never seen before- Rocket Racing Injectors. They kind of look a little like the 1978-81 Olds N78 aluminum...

    Good price to pay

    I've been toying with the idea of doing an LS swap in my 1979 Hurst/Olds to replace a non-original Olds 350. There's a local gentleman selling a complete LS3 and 6-speed auto trans from a 2013 Camaro that has 75k miles for $4000. Is this a good deal? Everything is included in the deal...

    Cutlass A/C condenser brackets

    Can anyone post a picture of the upper brackets that hold the a/c condenser in place? I'm putting the a/c components back in my 1979 Cutlass and I just bought a condenser this morning. I have the lower rubber mounts it sits in but can't remember what the upper brackets look like. I can see...

    Cutlass hood insulation pad

    Does anyone know where I can get a good repro (or original) hood insulation pad for my 1979 Cutlass Calais? I've owned the car for 22 years and it has never had one. Trying to get the complete stock look back. Thanks.

    Small block exhaust chioces

    I just bought an excellent running 1974 Olds 350 V8 that I'll be picking up Wednesday morning. The engine is still in a 1974 Cutlass S. It's complete from air cleaner to oil pan except the owner is keeping the headers that are on it. I'm putting the engine in a 1979 Cutlass project so the...

    Should it matter...?

    I'm selling my 1978 Olds 442 5-speed car and have had it listed here and locally now for several months. I'm nearly done with the re-assembly process and only have a few more things to tidy up. I had a local gentleman, who was originally interested in my 1978 Cutlass Calais 4-speed car that...

    When selling a project...

    When selling a project car is it better for it to be assembled or in some stage of disassembly? I partially disassembled my 442 project car some years ago but am not going to get to the restoration. Does it help or scare off potential buyers if they see a car that's taken apart? On one hand...

    Advice for an OD trans for a 455

    I have a 1979 Hurst/Olds that I put a mildly built 455 in 12 years ago. (The car had a non-original Olds 350/Turbo 350 combo so I wasn't worried about numbers-matching.) I also swapped in an 8.5" rear with 3.73 posi at the same time, but kept the Turbo 350 transmission and a Hughes 2500 stall...

    New Guy from Massachusetts

    Hello, my name is Phil and I'm new to this site. I wanted to show off one of the cars I'm working on right now. It's a 1978 Cutlass Calais that has a rare factory 4-speed in it. The car still has its original Chevy 305 V8 2bbl motor, Saginaw 4-speed, and a 2.73 rear end. I've owned it for...
