    Center Console Question

    I have one and actually use it. If you want to keep the old school looks with the factory stereo, ya gotta pick up some cassette to match the era lol

    CUTLASS 4L80E mated to an Olds

    For what it's worth, before the LS i have in the car currently, I had my 4L80 bolted up to an Olds 455. I used the transdapt adapter plate, longer rear dowels and a Circle D converter. Everything bolted right up, and the stock replacement flex plate holes lined up just fine with the converter.

    WANTED Update: Wanted: 3-Wire Power Antenna End Connector*FOUND*

    You may try Mouser Electronics. That's where we get a lot of OEM connectors that Kenworth will not sell us or give us a part number for on factory harnesses.

    CUTLASS New Tail Lights!

    You can tell they are repops. They aren't bad for the money though. The chrome leaves a little to be desired though. All in all anything is better than my cracked up and faded 38 year old lights lol

    CUTLASS New Tail Lights!

    Here is one of them out of the box. Came with the new donut gaskets as well as washers to go between the body and the nut. I am going to get them both out and compare to the old ones this weekend, but for the money, they are not a bad copy at all!

    Radio Wire Harness (1987 Oldsmobile 442)

    You can buy the chassis side harness pigtails pretty cheap then the connection would be back to factory plug and go. https://www.ebay.com/itm/175876013220?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&customid=link&campid=5335822911&toolid=20001&mkevt=1

    Good sounding exhaust

    I'm using the Magnaflow 3 chamber xl mufflers with my ls swap and they have a good sound to them. A little loud but not too much.

    Thinking of selling my wheels and tires, what's a fair price?

    I would definitely buy them if I was closer. I've been looking for chrome 15's. That a bit of a drive from Indy to NY though.

    question about the Edelbrock Endurashine

    Well things went from bad to worse. Won't be able to get the 403 in the car this year. Pulled the bearing caps, crank needs a grind/polish and cam bearings are wiped out so i'm looking at a full rebuild now. Have to save up some cash for that, but still will have the 403 in the cutlass in the...

    question about the Edelbrock Endurashine

    Well i'm officially stumped on this one. Pulled everything apart last night.... Bottom end looks stock. Pistons look like they have been replace, but stock bore size and a little cross hatch still in the cylinder walls.... Heads do not look to be milled at all, but i'll be checking them to see...
