I want to swap over to an older carb/distributor setup in my 85 442 with the 9 code 307 but I want to retain my lockup without buying a lockup kit for it. Will lockup work if the computer is still hooked up to the trans?

Items shipped with great care, the mufflers in the box could've survived a runover by a truck. 8)

Simple, need to know the size of the pinstripe on the rim of the 442/Hurst/olds wheels.

I have a CZF monte ss trans in my 442, dead stock valvebody and correct governor with 3.73 gears ; shifts should be around 5200-5600 rpm WOT 1-2. I have 3.73 gears and I'm debating whether to get 3.90's for better acceleration but I'm worried if this terribly affects the governors shift point...

On my 1985 olds 442 I have had this problem with the tilt steering column being "loose", It wasn't actually the bolts but the bearings inside so I replaced it with another steering column from another 85 442. My mechanic put the column in for me and as soon as i got the car home it began acting...

I plan to pull the 442's 307 when I park it this winter for storage to regasket it and paint it, I figure while its out, upgrade to full roller rockers and possibly have someone grind a roller cam to the specs of the flat tappet custom grind that it has already, basically upgrading to a full...

A+ seller, shipped parts in good box, lots of packing material.

The paint on the cutlass is really looking like sh*t, clearcoat is peeling off everywhere mainly above the pinstripe on the top of the car like the hood, tops on the fenders, trunk, roof. The roof looks like crap, paint has chipped off everywhere, vinyl top is destroyed and need a new hood...

Couldn't sleep yesterday and was thinking about how cool the idea would be of running a mild 455/th2004r/3.73 with CCC controls and emission equipment (minius cats/AIR). I have a 1986 olds cutlass salon, originally a v8/2004r car and dead stock. I regretably tore the a/c and heater box and...

I'm gonna upgrade (or down grade depending on how you look at things) to an almost stock 350 olds or a 403 since my street/strip 350 is done for. I'm basically taking the top end off of my old 350 (manifold, distributor, valve covers, crankcase breathers and 4 corner cooling) and throwing these...

Does anyone know off hand what the thread sizes on the oldsmobile blocks are? specifically the bolt holes holding the timing chain cover/water pump to the block. Someone before me decided to strip the cast iron threads in the block before I bought it, now the water pump leaks everywhere.

I am to the point with my cutlass that a little work still has to be done before its safe and road worthy (hood, park brake release cable and new tires) and I don't think anyone will actually inspect the car and put a sticker on it being it has a different drivetrain, wheels and no emission...

Lets see what tires you have on your gbody, I'm looking for some ideas and feedback on tires that I should get. So far I'm really interested in BFG radial T/A's but have found good deals on Cooper Cobras online. I'm looking towards RWL. Currently on my 86 cutlass salon, I have RWL BFG T/As...

Today was the first day since late september i got to "drive" my cutlass. I didnt take it too far since i dont have a hood on it, but as i left my garage and started driving up the hill it seemed like the car had almost no power,mid rpms, feels like it was either in second gear or maybe the...

I read maybe about 5 different articles from various magazines/books on the 1983/84 hurst/olds saying that they all came with 2.56 open carrier rears rather then 3.73 geared rears. Was this all a huge mistake by the writers/reviewers or was that an option?

i have a sunpro tachometer and recently installed an hei kit from msd (part number 8501). It features an adjustable rev limit on it. It says in the instructions that i connect the rev limit wire to my tach's trigger, which i have no clue what that is. Should i splice the rev limit wire into the...

Having some trouble of where to mount my hood pin studs at on the cutlass. I seen a couple members here with pins, can some of you post some pics of the rad support where the studs are? I have mine where the hood bumpers go in the rad support, i just removed the bumpers altogether and bolted...

Something I've been thinking of lately is whether to get a cowl induction fiberglass hood or run a steel hood with a "mailbox" hood scoop. Either way I need the additional hood clearance for a carb spacer so either will do, but it's just a matter of personal preference, the look of the scoop and...

Getting a non posi 8.5 10 bolt soon, just wondering if anyone has used a Lock-right locker in one before? Sounds like a good alternative to costs and to the clutch type posi. I am also looking into a true trac, Eaton clutch type posi and an Auburn gear posi. The cheapest of the bunch is the...
