    Vapor casnister ?? Help

    The canisters would still all work, although the parts info callout says . The 3.8 uses a mirror image vapor canister control valve though from the V8 job due to placement and hose routing. Same function. GM p/n 17085918. Apparently it's in the long hose going from the canister to the carb...

    Power Brake Drum Repaint help

    The new brake booster is $80 USD cheaper than the Caswell kit. Why spend $250 USD for the plating kit just because of color? The issue with the Caswell kit is you have to disassemble what you have down to parade rest. I mean everything rubber needs to come out of that thing. You have to take it...

    Vapor casnister ?? Help

    As well you know already it's GM p/n 17064622 if you need to search for a new one. Whatever you do, don't lose those mounting clips. They're unobtanium. The canisters are getting to be unobtanium as well. 17075824 and 17075849 are other numbers you can use for the canister as well. 2 port...

    Vapor casnister ?? Help

    Typically, only the bottom filter is readily serviceable. Can't recall the part number off the top of my head. A478C or A487C comes to mind, but I could be wrong on that. As described previously, the canister CAN be dismantled and rebuilt with pet shop activated charcoal bits, but not...

    Power Brake Drum Repaint help

    They don't do REAL cad plating anymore from what I've learned. Toxic crap, etc., etc. But generally, up through 84, they plated them. 85 and up they painted them black. When that cad paint from Eastwood first came out, I tried it on my 71 442 and wish I didn't. PITA and also didn't do a great...

    Has anyone gutted/ plugged a proportioning valve?

    It's likely p/n 25504613. Or equivalent aftermarket if there are any. HARD TO FIND. Nearly unobtanium new. 80-85 Caddy/Olds E and K body. Buick lists it for 1980 E body, but later for only export E. The domestic 82/83 Buick E with rear disc used 25509417. 25504613 doesn't have the...

    CUTLASS Ebay LEAD: NOS Front Nose Rocket #22528812 2-door Cutlass 87-88

    No dog in the hunt. $106 plus any taxes. Great price for a nearly unobtanium GM part if it's in nice condition. Repros look "ok" but this is another place where nothing is as good as genuine GM parts. Super hard to tell condition as far as any flaws inside an aged baggie, but I've vetted this...

    Another Prototype Gasket in the Coming Soon Edition- Can't Believe They Haven't Repro'd This One

    See what I mean? A lot of people don't even know it's supposed to be there. I'll go check the 85 and 87, maybe tomorrow. They should have one if it's not disintegrated away already. They've never been removed.

    Hurst / Olds center console wiring

    That 2nd light socket wasn't used with Lighting Rods. It was for the floor shift indicator lighting. Bulb removed and wrapped up out of the way. LR's did not have the indicator except for what was printed on the top plate. No way to light it up. So they used the tach indicator pointer deal for...

    New Shiny Aluminum Radiator vs. 46 year old Brass

    Tablets ain't a cure-all. If there's a hole to fix, then fix the hole. What these tablets do is fill little leaks and seeps from gaskets and hoses, etc., to make sure it didn't leak coolant on the showroom floor to get it out the door. But it was used as a small insurance policy. Apparently the...

    New Shiny Aluminum Radiator vs. 46 year old Brass

    Several options. And they all include flourescent dye if you have a UV flashlight or lamp: My choice (if conventional coolant) Or if Dexcool Extended life: Also, for regular coolant users, when you refill new coolant or replace radiators, etc., and NOT using Dexcool, you can get some of...

    Throttle cable wont fit

    OOPs. My bad. Got V6 and V8 signals crossed. Was thinking he had a 4 bbl bracket on his V6 and then got the right bracket. Forget all that crap I said earlier.

    CUTLASS Get Them While You Can. Inflation Is Everywhere

    People's been asking $10K (yeah) for used 69 H/O intakes, and 400/455 D heads in the $5-7K range. Asking prices. But even if you got 50% of that, $7500 for a set of heads and intake is still a heck of a lot. The parts supply is dwindling fast. The point is, when people WANT to restore G-bodies...
