I found older trailers to be a better deal all around. I was looking for a "heavyweight" early gooseneck. Kept my OEM list to Pace, Haulmark, or United. I was looking for finished inside, wired for 110 and 12 v, a/c equipped. Most older trailers that are well kept are worth the hunt. They...

This was/is a great thread. When I was in search of a 8.5, the ones that I bought were "rode hard and put away wet". It's all that was out there. And that was over 10 years ago. The first one was in a car that wound up getting stolen and never recovered. The second was a salvage yard take out...

Manual steering box with correct pitman arm. I'm near Atlantic City N.J. if it needs to be shipped. Local pickup is always an option. $100

Stock pump.

I figured I would get some flak about Andy. Paul Tester (Tester Motorsports) is in Fairlawn NJ. He doesn't like Andy either. But he does work on Oldsmobile stuff.

Andy Miller is 2 hours away. He did my iron heads. He is not inexpensive, just good. 845-369-9602

Drive over to Machine World and ask. Or go see Bob at Ace Crankshaft. I still think BBO heads are the way.....

I have run 7.5's behind hot small blocks and big blocks. Open, posi, and a powertrax equiped unit. The one that broke? Behind a 307 Olds ! Had 4.56's in it and a bit of wheel hop knocked teeth off the ring and pinion.

T/A performance. The original. For a 8.5, get the ARP stud kit they reccomend.

Paid $800 here on Long Island two years ago. The shop did the whole job, I just dropped it off and picked it up. For anyone nearby give Peter Burd a call at Moonlighting 631-563-8077

I still use the tech and FAQ topics over there. Learned a lot and bought and sold many parts there.

See if this helps with waterpump dimensions: http://www.oldsmobility.com/oldsmo/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=391

I love when these old threads comeback. I'm in the middle of doing a long time swap. I'm using all Factory harness, and I'm just having a heck of a time pinning out the c100 bulkhead connector. it's all good though I can't wait when it's done.

If anyone needs a th-200 BOP case I have one here on Long Island. It was behind a 3.8 in a Monte Carlo if IIRC.

Actually most lobes are treated by a process called "Parkerizing". Its a chemical process that helps resistance to wear. The "break in" process (2500 for 30 min.) does the rest. Or at least thats what the machine shop owner told me. Cool score.

That problem of rain on the floor in the passenger side footwell. I have yet to come up with the right fix for that. And I have owned 6 of these cars (2 currently). The B pillar crack from the previous owner putting a BBC in it with no chassis reinforcement. Siliconed it to keep the rain out.

As far as which tube goes where it will work either way. The "cooler" ports in the radiator for the transmission also brings the fluid up to temperature faster when it's chilly out.

I just find it makes my car quieter. Total PITA for any service though......

This thread looks like it will solve a problem that I have. Currently doing a much older swap, a L-98 TPI from an 87 Pontiac GTA into my 87 Grand Prix. The doner had an electric speedometer, which I couldn't figure out how to swap. The 4 pulse signal also tells the ECU when the car is at hiway...
