    1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham

    Yeah, usually just priming the carb is enough. On my old 77 Dodge van, I actually had to stick a rag in the tank to pressurize it to get it to pull fuel with the 318 swap. Of course that was a Dodge with a shitty BBD Carter carb.

    1970 Olds Cutlass S Rat Rod Style

    My Wife guessed 3 grand, I was hoping for around a grand. About half way between as it ended up. From my rough measurements, it looks like the pistons are .002 to .003" in the hole, basically a finger nail. If accurate, I need 66cc chambers with the Felpro and 65cc with the thicker Mr Gasket to...

    Which head gaskets?

    Yeah, I agree. But the the head surface isn't perfect, has run time and won't be milled again, already too small of CC. Plus no more machine work for a while, $2270 to fix my boo boos, the other machine shops and assemble it!

    Which head gaskets?

    I am finally getting back my 358 short block tomorrow, a year and a month. I have 4 different sets to choose from. I am planning on using iron #6 heads and my Performer cam. One head is 62CC, the other 64cc, previous owner knicked a deck in storage and got one cleaned, why there is a variation...

    1970 Olds Cutlass S Rat Rod Style

    This Accel DFI EFi distributor arrived, just need lines, pump and a Terminator to complete the EFI. I will be calling the machine shop for the final short block cost later this week.

    MALIBU Champion radiators...anybody used them?

    My 3 core Champion was similar, too small for my 403. I would get the GN rad surround flaps and step up to a large 2 core or a 4 core.

    (1988 Cutlass classic with 307 and TH200-R4) Transmission Slipping on the highway?

    Good point, when was the fuel filter last changed? A complete tune up done?

    (1988 Cutlass classic with 307 and TH200-R4) Transmission Slipping on the highway?

    Yes, I have been running the PATC 2200 to 2500 stall for years, flashes around 2350 rpm and is cheap. This one lived behind my more powerful Olds 350 down the 1/8 mile track with slicks. https://transmissioncenter.net/shop/1-street-raptor-1-street-raptor/

    (1988 Cutlass classic with 307 and TH200-R4) Transmission Slipping on the highway?

    I had one of those OPT torque converters implode at the 1/8 mile track and the Olds 403 was slow, 9.7 was the best time. I had to file a complaint to get my CK parts.

    78 Century Aeroback 4 door race or sell?

    I love the idea of the Atlas, more dependable and more powerful than the Aurora V8 and can be boosted quite a bit before destruction. If I was going for a more modern upgrade, it would be my choice. The factory oil pan is really its biggest downfall but the Atlas 4 or 5 cyl pan can be modified...

    1970 Olds Cutlass S Rat Rod Style

    Well, I went to the machine shop, the bad, I didn't come home with my 358 short block. The good, it is all assembled but the bill wasn't done and they had to do a couple of final checks. There were some issues with the crank now fixed. Apparently I mixed up a couple of pistons and rod...

    78 cutlass W-31 build

    Sorry to hear this, yeah this is frustrating, been there. Hopefully my 358 will be done tomorrow, of course I have to assemble it. Here is a build Cutlassefi just did. I was going to throw my thrice used Performer cam, already degreed it and can use the easy non adjustable valve train and get...

    1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham

    Really interested on how it drives. With your couple of upgrades over stock, it should perform quite nicely. Who would guessed, especially with the huge numbers from factory V8's the last few years that a Turbo V6 would be the new norm.

    (1988 Cutlass classic with 307 and TH200-R4) Transmission Slipping on the highway?

    I like the big Transgo shift kit, includes the servo and .500" boost and larger reverse valve. What rpm does it shift at full throttle? My 88 shifted at 3000 rpm. The green line bias spring included in shift kit, raises full throttle shifts a few hundred rpm. The Transgo hardened pump rings...

    ORIGINAL AC DELCO PARTS???'S

    For the small cap and rotor, step to the premium cap and rotor. I saw many misfires due to corroded caps on TBI trucks.

    1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham

    I have no idea why anyone would cut them, galvanic corrosion? Good thing you have the old motor, it helps align the motor and trans.

    Quick question: Adjustable Thermostat Probe Location

    I clamped mine against the upper rad hose. It isn't very accurate according to the Davies Craig controller but at least I didn't damage fins with the probe.

    1970 Olds Cutlass S Rat Rod Style

    Put the new alternator on, still not charging. I found the one wire where I put a connector for some reason, came unhooked. The other alternator squeaked from new and I always like having spare parts. Reconnected, taped the connection and no more squeak.
