    WARNING Just an FYI on a Dorman 80195 Brake Booster Filter

    Took my Cutlass for ride today, maybe 100 miles or so, really nice sunny day but cold. Anyhow, I stopped by my parents place for a visit and when I started the Olds up in the driveway I heard a pop, like a backfire through the carb. The engine started but I found I had no power brakes rolling...

    CUTLASS Windshield and Rear Window Trim Clips

    Are the windshield and rear window trim clips the same on an '80 Cutlass? The clips I bought just don't hold the A-pillar trim down and pop as soon as I try and attach the top molding. Is there any better alternatives, OEM? These NAPA (found them in another thread on the board) items? Or...

    CUTLASS Another bright idea, '87 Olds 442 wheels on my '80?

    I found a set of '87 Olds 442 15" wheels and center caps for sale not too far away for $500. The rims have some surface rust and faded gold insets in the spokes, but look to be in pretty good shape, the centers as well. Is the asking price out of line or decent or? My idea is to go 15"...

    Shot in the dark here, guys. My car has been in storage since 1991 and I (and my friend) got back working on it last year.

    OLDS Anyone see this article in HotRod magazine about an Olds 455?

    I like this segment of the magazine because they feature more down to earth builds on engines we all might be able to afford at some point in our lives. This is what I'd try to build if I ever pull the 455 out from under my work bench!

    CHEVY Bought a new pickup today.

    My Trailblazer was starting to show its age with a few rot through areas and 175k miles on the ticker so after discussions with my bride about trading up we decided to test the waters.
