New Carburetor Came in from Amazon today. Going to find out some time this month if it works with the Engine I bought. Many more parts to acquire, which will be happening soon, but they are coming from Rock Auto.

That's not going to work well unless you have an ECM and the emissions stuff on the car.

If not, you'd be better off with a carburetor from late 60s through the late 70s, assuming your mechanic knows how to set one up and tune it.

I had my q jet built with 72 upper and later model base for the 2004r transmission. Worked great till I went to efi

Chasing a noise lead me here:


Pretty sure coolant isn’t supposed to be in the valve train area 😅

Any info on your car? Mine was actually in the distributor timing with vacuum advance. Distributor was curved wrong and had wrong vacuum port

a lot of white smoke coming from the motor, it’s a v6 with a lot of issues so I’m not even going to bother fixing it just going to pull and give her a nice v8

Finally finished replacing the rusted out floor pans of my 9C1. I've added rattletrap sound deadening. Now, I'm in search of a rubber floor instead of carpet. The original disintegrated upon removal. Anyone have a source for Police/Taxi rubber flooring for an 81 Malibu?

Stocked up on 80 grit DA sanding discs for the planned paint stripping party this spring on my Olds. My wife foolishly volunteered to help with the project so I'll be buying another electric DA in the near future.
