    How much is to be gained by removing the original cat?

    My 1979 Hurst Olds with the 350 still has it's OEM CAT, with 83K on it. It has a small hole in it and I was just thinking of having a straight pipe made for it and eliminate the CAT altogether. I may end up patching the hole in the OEM Cat if the cost of a straight pipe is cost prohibitive...

    replaced tach, still doing same thing

    1979 Olds, original tach was reading 500 rpms high at times. Does go to zero when key is turned on. Then when engine starts, rpms still go about 500 too high and then becomes even more inaccurate at times. The needle does NOT sweep and swing. Someone mentioned a ground issue but what ground...

    can someone reccomend a good wheel spacer for my 1979 Cutlass?

    I'm mounting SSII 15X7 inch wheels on my 1979 which came with 14X6 wheels. The inside edge of the rim along with the wheel weight is hitting the tie rod end. Can someone recommend a spacer of 1/4 inch that I can install on the front hub that will push the rim away enough to allow me to bolt...

    Can someone post a 265/50/15 pic on a 7 inch wheel? The 8 inch rims I was offered are 7 inch now.

    The seller made an honest mistake and told me he did measure the outside rim or lip and it did show 8 inches........ he finally agreed they are 7 inch SSII's..............but now I have a 265/50/15 tire that I need to mount and will it go on the 7 inch and how do they look? I appreciate any...

    Replaced Tach, still reading high, do I need a TACH FILTER installed? And where does it go?

    Odd thing is, I removed my dash, managed to get all the gauges working, I put the gauge cluster in without fastners and the tach reads correct. It zeros out at key on and the idle rpm is right and a few blips of the throttle and the tach reads and returns as it should. I fasten the gauge...

    Can you use a concentric wheel on a wheel spacer?

    I'm not even sure I understand my own question but my wheels are said to be concentric and came with a hard plastic ring that went over the hub or axle end that protrudes through the brake drum. (THIS QUESTION ONLY PERTAINS TO REAR WHEELS WITH DRUM BRAKES) I'd like to move the wheel out about...

    ARGH! Why won't my tach reset to ZERO after each start? It seems to keep 500 or so rpms.

    I have had my gauges apart oh say five times so far. Good news I got the oil pressure gauge to work and installed new LED lights.........BUT I followed a repair video on the GBody You tube and I soldered a wire between the center post and the V8 post on the tach leads. with the initail...

    what is the best way to STIFFEN a spring without making it taller?

    I just completed a 2 inch spindle drop on my H/O and sadly I got ahead of myself and purchased tires and wheels BEFORE I did this. You all know where this is going. The tire and wheel fit nicely in the wheel well.......but when I turn and have any kind of suspension travel on the driver's side...

I just took the gauge cluster apart again and made sure all the contacts were secure and so forth. ALL my other gauges read fine.. I DID...

    How important is the vent tube going from the carbon canister back to the fuel tank?

    I installed a new gas tank AND sending unit...........thought I got the right one but the sending unit only has 2 tubes on it. One to pump the fuel to the fuel pump and the other is the overflow or return line back to the tank. I have the carbon canister and I see the line going back to the...
