When I apprenticed at the dealership, I was shown to clean the rotor wheel and vane tops insitue and then mark the top inner all the way around with a sharpie. Then when you were putting the vanes back in you knew what was top inner. That's how I did every one. Once installed you could swipe...

Next on my list, after the wiring harness, is reseal my pump. Nice pictorial so far. Hutch

Glad to see her out and about. As good looking as the day she was finished. Hutch

The GBody Rembrandt! Nice work! That would fool 99% of the people at any car show (maybe 100%) Hutch

I picked the core support behind the battery as my spot to place the relays. I build the harness and relay connectors with serviceability in mind by adding a 2 wire weather pack connector to be able to disconnect it from the main harness. I'm using 40 amp relays with a 30 amp inline fuse...

Back with an update. I check my thermostat before installing. It's marked 180 degree, and it opened at 183. Not too bad. I get the Thermo Housing installed along with a few sensors I'll need in place to finish the harness. I then install the Alt and Compressor, since they both have wiring...

More catch up, I painted, detailed and installed the intake. Now back to the wiring harness. Hutch

Hmmm, If I remember right there's an injected plastic (like on newer u-joints) that has to be melted out to get it to move. Hutch

This is for a V8 442, but it's probably the same. https://gbodyforum.com/threads/1987-olds-442-project-build.55577/post-937656

I have no personal experience (maybe someone here does), but I have heard good things about Steele Rubber Products. That's more than likely going to be my choice when the time comes. https://www.steelerubber.com/search?year=1987&make=oldsmobile&model=cutlass-supreme&style=2-door-coupe Hutch

Whenever I go on a yard crawl, I always grab items like that. Push clips, pin clips, plastic rivets, etc. They usually don't even charge if you're picking up something else (or forget to tell them). Hutch

It's grey it's grey, since you went away, oh no.

I had an 87 Cutlass Supreme before the 442. It didn't have the spare in the trunk. I had a medium sized plastic tool box that wedged down in the tire well perfectly. I loaded it up with all the metric size sockets and wrenches along with screw drivers etc. It worked well and added a little...

I think the "Mark of Excellence" fading away is a reflection a production standards as a whole. I think the average "Joe" has become used to lower quality and poorer service. Maybe it's simply a question of economic stress. Maybe they're trying to push back the cost of stamp or machinery...

And this:

So it's been forever, but here's a new design: Dark Shirts: https://hutchhiperfcom.creator-spring.com/listing/speed-rated-bl?product=2 Light Shirts: https://hutchhiperfcom.creator-spring.com/listing/speed-rated?product=2&variation=2122&size=279 I've got a few more ideas coming. I haven't...

Your engine bay is dead sexy! Well done! Hutch

Here's a spec I found on Waytek Wire: Nylon Loom - Temp rating: -40°F (-40°C) to 257°F (125°C) (Up to 300 for short periods of time) Polyethylene - Temp rating: -40°F (-40°C) to 200°F (93°C) I had this site in my favorites from gathering supplies for my harness rebuild. Here's their loom (it...

I keep hard copies of info I find important. We're one giant solar flare away from a world wide reboot to factory settings.

W...T...F I'm gonna go lay down for a bit. Don't ever say those words together again.
