    mass backing carpet

    i went with the mass backing carpet also. I also picked a slightly darker tan/brown color than what came on the stock tan interior cars. Looks great. Was a b*tch to install though. I did it in the spring when it wasnt very hot out so the sun wouldn't heat it up enough to remove the folds from...

    previous owner repairs and maintenance....

    seems i learn something new every time i work on it or go on here, concerning this 231 i never knew about the external-ish oil pump on the 231, till this past weekend one of the older guys at the car-care/self-help shop, knows his sh*t, even he never heard of that. He thought I was bullshitting

    previous owner repairs and maintenance....

    i had no idea. I seriously had to google that to see This is my first iron-headed GM motor that didn't have gaskets, that I've found. I figured with the build quality GM was putting out back in the Gbody era, there is no way they would attempt to machine the manifold surfaces enough to run them...

    1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham

    thats gonna be a cool *ss sedan when done did your sedan come with a factory rear swaybar? I just found out mine has the F41 bars front and rear. I dont think I've ever seen a base-model supreme with them before.

    previous owner repairs and maintenance....

    Did some work on my car, had to pull the PS exhaust manifold. There was no gasket. Yeah, that sounds legit. I was shocked cause it didn't have a noticeable leak. They also used about a whole tube of red RTV to seal the connection from the I-pipe to the cat. Oil pressure sender was cracked, so...

    tryn to put Actuators in trunk

    i wouldve just done struts. Usually, used worn out struts off a 3rd or 4th gen fbody, hold up a normal trunk just fine, unless the strut has completely failed or blown out

    Chevy Dealer rant

    I don't trust any mechanic that isnt at least 20 years older than me, and I'm 30. Thats sad when you can't trust a GM dealership to not f*ck that up.

    I think I'm done with Sears/Craftsman.

    thats a slap in the face craftsmen used to be good hand tools, in my opinion my dad still has craftsman ratchets from 40+ years ago, that have never broken or been rebuilt, and still work good. I have some craftsmen ratchets that are quality built, and some of the newer asian ratchets that look...

    Cutlass sedan fender differences 78-84

    my 87 and 85 cutlass sedans had the same fender as you have pictured above im pretty sure all 78-87 cutlass sedan fenders and hoods are interchangeable so the header panel on a 78-80 should also fit on the 81-87 fender/hoods i might be wrong, but i doubt it. The body lines are the same on all...

    any 231's have oil pan gasket fail?

    its definitely the oil pan the front (passenger side) corner is bent down, with the gasket kinda hanging out. I have no idea how that happened, i dont even see how it could happen. Looks like someone pryed the corner down with a pry bar

    smoke thru vents

    that is what happened to my car. A previous owner put alot of miles on the car with it leaking a ton of oil from the valve covers. Now there is almost a permanent burnt oil smell inside the car, which gets worse when air is blowing thru the vents
