    3spd vs OD console shifter gear indicator swap

    I have a 3 speed center console shifter gear indicator plate in my cutlass. It originally came with a th200 I have a 2004r in the car and I swapped the detent plate out for the 2004r one so I have all 4 gears that align to the trans. Obviously the detents don't line up with the gear indicator...

    L67 Fbird Revision B

    This is 75% dad's project but we're splitting the work. Hopefully this will be a quick one but we'll see what pops up as we dig in. So a bit of background, we picked up a 97 red y87 3800 auto firebird in 2011 as my Winter beater. At the time my cutlass was basically too nice to winter drive...

    Rallye 350 G concept

    Normally I don't share concept drawings but this one was interesting. Not sure I necessarily like it, super bold colors on G bodies don't work 100%, but I don't hate it. https://www.hotcars.com/instagram-jlord8-oldsmobile-cutlass-rallye-350-render/

    Garage door screen options

    My garage gets hot during the summer and I enjoy opening the door in the evening when I am working to get some breeze. The issue is when dusk sets in so do the bugs. I picked up a garage door screen and am trying to determine the best way to mount it so it's easy to pull down when I am in the...

    Chev vs BOP coolant overflow reservoir

    I was going to replace the yellowed coolant overflow reservoir on my GP and see most if not all the aftermarket repops are for chevy only and I can't seem to find BOP ones. Are the chev tanks actually unique compared to an OEM BOP overflow, or window washer reservoir for that matter...

    CEL box function

    Working on integrating my 87 grand national dash harness into my 85 cutlass dash harness. The c437 plug is what goes from the ECM to the OBD2 plug, ECM power, VSS and check engine light among other things. https://www.gnttype.org/techarea/electrical/connectors.html I'm good on everything...

    Engine wiring harness to fuse panel terminals

    Anyone know the PN or series for the terminals that are inserted into the plastic bulkhead on the underhood side of the engine harness that plugs into the fuse box under the brake booster? Some packard/delphi series? 280 maybe? I need to swap fuse box plugs on a 78-83 style engine harness to...

    Fuel tank vent/mini charcoal canister

    Anyone have a suggestion for a smaller 'remote' fuel tank vent canister or charcoal filter? Trying to find a vent solution for my EFI tank. I don't have any of the OEM charcoal canister stuff left under the hood. I would like some type of vent/filter mounted under the trunk floor near the rear...

    4200 Atlas stuff!

    Anyone been watching what Calvin has been doing with the 4200 Atlas platform? Holy schneikeys. 30+ psi on stock bottom end through the OEM intake manifold making ~820 to the wheels. Probably tapping on 1000hp crank. Granted this is on the slightly better 06+ bottom end and head vs the early...

    Upgrade wire size in EFI fuel sender

    Anybody changed the passthrough on the EFI G body fuel sender? I made my own for my dual 450 in tank setup but want to make it a bit less intrusive for this single pump setup I'm putting in my Olds. The replacement EFI fuel senders have maybe 16 gauge wiring. I'm putting a Hellcat 525 pump in...

    When the car that got you into G bodies comes up for sale

    Or at least one of them. This is one of those 'don't meet your heros' situations I guess. There were 3 cars in or around my home town that got me into G bodies. 1. A blue 78-81 malibu wagon, it got cut up about 15 years ago for scrap, the frame got donated to a 50's chevy pickup streetrod 2. A...

    Anyone know a part number for front upper control arm bump stops? The ones that stop the suspension from sagging out fully when at full suspension drop. I know polys exist but do oe style rubber ones exist? ENERGY SUSPENSION 39102G is the only thing I've found. I can't even find a part number

    Paypal and 1099k's

    Saw this on one of my other hobby pages. Thought I would FYI for everything that uses Paypal. I am no CPA but from what I understand if you do more than $600 of sales on ebay, paypal, or anything else you will now get taxed as the seller (not just your state sales tax that's already done through...

    3rd brake light works but R & L tail lamps don't

    Wondering if anyone knows where to track this down. 86 Grand prix with a 3rd brake light. My turn signals, hazard, and normal tail lamps work as normal, so that means all my wiring (at least from the column back) and bulbs are fine. My brake lights (left and right tail lamps) don't work but...

    Line locks, proportioning valves, plumbing, oh my!

    Curious what people have done (photos?) when they replace their factory prop valve with an aftermarket one and add a linelock. Where do you mount things, what does the plumbing look like, ect? I am putting a linelock on my 2+2 and am looking at plumbing around the stock proportioning (combo)...

    A body door hinge detent rollers in a G body

    Do your doors wave around like one of those wacky waving arm guys at the used car lot because your door hinge detent pins are missing? Or, are your doors tough to open because your detent rollers are locked up tighter than the Tin Man after a salt water bath? If so your detent roller pins could...

    Early G body brake light switch (with cruise) function

    Anyone have an early (78-83?) G body brake light switch with cruise sitting around that knows the pin function before I order one? I know the brake light prongs (closer to the threaded part) close circuit when the button is out (brake pedal pressed) Does the cruise circuit prongs (closer to...
