I typically like to buy WIX transmission filters... But I am wondering if their quality has gone down recently?? About a year ago, I purchased a 58896 WIX transmission filter kit from a local parts store. The filter was stamped "Made in USA." The gasket was a thick cork gasket that said WIX...

Well I was looking to get some opinions on which way to go with the paint on my '84 Hurst. When I bought my car, it came with the black hood scoop & wing. Was this an uncommon thing? I am just asking because the majority of these cars I see have the silver scoop & wing. I am really debating on...

Well I just got me a new set of valve covers, and I liked them so much I decided to share... :D Tell me what you think about them... Fresh out of the box from eBay... Sandblasted the next day... Finally powdercoated flat black...

I'm watching a 1979 Hurst/Olds go up for sale on Barrett-Jackson. It is bothering me that they are calling this car a 442, and a 442 Hurst. I really wish I could tell them that there is a difference between a 442 and a Hurst/Olds! :roll: Maybe I'm just crazy. IDK. Is it bothering...

So yesterday I was out riding through the country, and stopping by a couple of junk yards I know that hold on to older stuff. I wasn't looking for anything in particular. Just passing the time on my day off... I happen to look and find a complete 455 Oldsmobile sitting there, minus the...

Would a fuel line from a 455 with a Quadrajet be the same line as the one for the 307/350 motors? I found this one on eBay, but they have it listed for the 455. From the picture it looks like it would work. Just wanted to double check before I bought it. I actually bought one from...

So its just about time for me to change the oil in my truck. I have an '06 Sierra with the 5.3 motor. I normally run Castrol GTX and change the oil every 3,000 miles on the dot. I went out and bout 6 qts of Royal Purple and K&N oil filter, because I thought about upgrading to a synthetic...

I found this video on YouTube. The guy seems to have put a lot of money into it. I like it minus the audio stuff and the digital dash. I'm just glad he stayed with an Oldsmobile motor. What do you think about it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjF-b9XmxfM

So I was looking at these floor pans on ebay and they are extremely cheap. I was just wondering if anyone had tried any. The guy is selling rear floor pan sections for $54.99. Everything else I had found was close to $500 for a gbody. What do you guys think...

Ok so I have decided to start working on my suspension a little bit. I have started with shocks, springs, sway bar bushings, and end links. Now I'm on to my ball joints and control arm bushings. I popped off my control arms the other day, and removed the factory ball joint and bushings. My...

I had a couple questions about the stock aluminum intake that came on my 307. I have in my car now a '69 model 350 Olds. It has the factory cast iron intake that weighs a ton. I was planning on getting a performer 2711 Edelbrock (non - egr) but don't want to really waste $300... Then I...

I am shopping around for a new detent cable since mine is broken on one end, and laying on my intake manifold. I have a 2004R trransmission in my '84 Cutlass. I found some on ebay, but they say they fit 2004R & 700R4 transmissions. That kinda concerned me... So are they actually...

Do you guys ever find yourself dreaming about your car? Or maybe even cars in general? Me personally, Im not really the dreaming type. I just never seem to have dreams. But on the rare occasion that I do, it is always about me and a car. Last night I had a very long, and detailed dream...

Well tomorrow I plan on changing out my ignition switch. I picked one up today for nine bucks, but I have been told its hard to install. What all do I have to do to change it out? I have heard that I have to drop the steering column, and could possibly mess a lot of stuff up. The problem I...

Ok so today I was stopped at a red light and thought I smelled something burning. I got the car home and there was smoke coming from the driver's side of my motor. I got under the car, and took a closer look. I cleaned up the underside of the motor with degreaser, brake cleaner, and paper...

I found this car on ebay and at first glance thought it was hideous. But the more I looked at the pictures, the wheels started growing on me. I really like the look of it. It makes is look pretty mean. What do you think about them? He wants $9,000 for the car...

Ok folks I seem to be having a problem with the brakes on my olds. A few years ago I put a set of pads on my car. I think every other brake component is still factory. It would stop just fine, but sometimes it would scare me and get a little too close to people who stopped short in front of...

Well I was thinking that maybe it isn't too safe to only have one set of keys to my cutlass. So I figured I few bucks at Walmart would get me some spares made. Well I was soon to find out how wrong I was... I go to the TLE section and ask the lady to cut me some keys. I told her to use the...

I bought a battery hold down from the guy. Great communication. He was very easy to deal with, and also shipped really quickly. I would recommend him to anyone.

Ok here is my problem... My t-tops leak, and over time, my floor pans have rusted out beyond belief. If you are sitting in my backseat you can do the fred flinstone. It is getting to the point that my seat mounts aren't even solid anymore. I have a parts car with perfect floor pans, and...
