Dorman # 47034 is the replacement grommet for the top(air cleaner side).For the valve cover side, ill have to do some research because when i replaced mine, i think i had to find one that would work.....Re-use the tube. :) Then again i may have used the same one on both ends...

When i swapped my 87 nose for an 84, all i had to change was the plugs for the headlights and move the side marker plug down to the one in the fender from the one beside the headlight. I did have to change the markers in the fender, mine were solid on the back without a provision for the...

Where are the vote buttons??

Its a relay, but for what im unsure.

This may sound silly but what about rigging up a servo, like the one these guys use on scale model aircraft to control the flaps and ailerons and such. I know they are strong enough. Just a couple of wires and it could be opened or closed with the flick of a switch , or some other way.

Yea, sorry for not updating this in a while(life). I never could get it figured out, and after rebuilding the carb i finally gave up and bought one. A friend of mine recommended www.guaranteedcarburetors.com . Said he'd bought a few over the years and never had any trouble. I was amazed that i...

Oh yea, ive had it apart, put all new bulbs in. They just always seemed i guess "less than desired" lol. And yes the dimmer switch works too. I was just curious to see what some of you might have done.

Seems like ive seen a few threads about our dash lights being somewhat dim. What have you done to correct this, i want my stock cluster(87 cutlass), just want it brighter.....(would love some pics)

I would just go that route. Prolly save you the time and hassle. Ive had several vehicles done at Quick-O in Knoxville, Robert is the one who has done mine and he does excellent work

I'll throw mine in for it. 1987 Salon , untouched and unmolested, other than i tinted the windows to help save on the sun fading the interior which is still like new.110k miles.

The intake itself or the gaskets?

Im going to ask a stupid question, i thought dwell meters were for the old point type distributors?

I can choke it with my hand and shell smooth out, or i can manually use the choke butterfly(on top). And i do appreciate you guys feedback on this, im not great with these carb cars. Im 34 and didnt grow up tuning them. I love my Cutlass and jsut try to maintain her the best i can.

I knew about the TPS trick (thanks for reminding me though). I just used the corner of a putty knife to keep her down till i got the airhorn back on with a couple of screws in it, then slide it out. Im starting to think she is lean like you guys say. Shell knock you out if your behind her, its...
