    Holley Terminator

    Cutlassefi did the tuning, had full timing control and 62-63 psi with the Holley in tank module. I had a fire, still worked till this spring, no communication no matter what I did. I would highly suggest a stand alone wiring harness

    Holley Terminator

    Go inside, under the hood was a PIA. Biggest waste of money to date, lost communication with the X Max and never ran right on a very mild Olds 358. Hope yours turns out, I went back to a Qjet.

    1970 Olds Cutlass S Rat Rod Style

    Yeah, iron Olds heads like a lot of part throttle timing. On 8 to 1 motors, I have ran 60+ degrees.

    1970 Olds Cutlass S Rat Rod Style

    Well, interesting and frustrating couple of days with the Oldsmobile. I pissed around forever with the shifter, so many hours wasted. I have all gears finally except park. Probably if I remove the cover and grind either the top of the range or add another square notch to get low and keep park...

    1970 Olds Cutlass S Rat Rod Style

    So I found this diagram. If I move the toggle switch to the one position, it instantly pops the fuse. In the two position, it does nothing. I will double check the trans plug orientation, can be put upside down. I may bypass this controller all together for lock up. I am also sure, not getting...

    200r4 stock stall converter

    I always saw a 2400 rating for the D5. Many have said actual was just over 2000 rpm behind the mighty Olds 307 HO. I know the lower stall D9 isn't even as bad as the stock TH350, 1600 vs about 1900 rpm actual for the D9. Behind a hotter 305 or 350, a D5 would be quite nice.

    1970 Olds Cutlass S Rat Rod Style

    I appreciate the warning, I found either no reviews or 3.5 to 4 star reviews. Then I stumbled across one on Jake's site. Mine has a light and 3 way regular rocker switch. No instructions on wiring the rocker switch.

    1970 Olds Cutlass S Rat Rod Style

    I'm not too worried about max line pressure on a 4L80E, a 4L60E is glorified junk in comparison. I did install a Transgo HD2 shift kit just before installing this controller. I have all gears from what I can tell but no torque converter lock up. I don't think the torque converter automatically...

    Yes, glad it worked.

    1970 Olds Cutlass S Rat Rod Style

    Well, the car runs great, not surprised with the Qjet I custom built. I am running the ported vacuum source for vacuum advance, don't need a ton of timing. The rear air door was really loose for some reason, had to set it twice tighter. Boy does the posi rear work. The $50 Amazon manual trans...

    Olds 455

    That seems to be what they do on Olds V8's. Checked the tension and if the adjustment is maxed out, it may need a new belt. I like Dayco and Gates but I find all new belts stretch a lot, even had one Dayco serpentine stretch to where it started squealing. Get the shortest belt that will fit as...

    1970 Olds Cutlass S Rat Rod Style

    So no communication, no matter what I tried with the Terminator X Max. So here is my solution. Honestly I don't feel like spending more money on this EFI. Plus not too thrilled to send anything South. I also found corrosion on the EFI distributor cap and rotor. I have a cheap Amazon manual...

    1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham

    Great job, probably the only more door Oldsmobile G body with a carbed 3.8 Turbo on the planet. You have to love that. Hopefully it meets all expectations, enjoy!

    BUILD THREAD 78 Malibu 350 rocket build kind of

    Yes, Olds made closed impeller pumps for heavy duty/AC cars. Flowkooler is the only closed impeller pumps available other than the $200 Thornton Muscle Cars pumps. Yes, nearly any of the factory fans move a lot of air. You will have to measure or do research on what fits. The GN surround isn't a...

    BUILD THREAD 78 Malibu 350 rocket build kind of

    I had issues with my 88 Cutlass running hot with Olds V. I tried multiple aluminum rads, fans, water pumps and thermostats. The GN rad rubber surround made the most difference. As said, the T stat won't make a difference, especially being a 180. The open impeller water pump is a minimal gain...
