Tried to sell this on ebay a few times but no bites. http://www.ebay.com/itm/121290452157 I'll take $25 for it + shipping if interested. Shipping will be in a large flat rate USPS priority mail box so you can look up shipping from NC. If $25 is too much make an offer. I think I paid $80...

My dad passed and I inherited his pickup. I had been using my wagon as a truck but I no longer have room for it nor need it. Thinking about selling it and kind of wondering how much to ask for it. Here's the rundown: 79 Cutlass Cruiser Brougham. Not sure why it is a Brougham since...

I'm not sure what the odds are of finding this but I am looking for a driver's side upper door panel for a 79 Cutlass Cruiser. I'd be willing to entertain other years if it matches the passenger side I have or if you have a set. Color not really important since I will dye it but red is what...

I recently needed to get some used maple hardwood flooring from the Habitat from Humanity restore. I literally filled the back of my wagon up with the back seat down all the way to the ceiling. The weight of the wood was estimated at 1100 pounds. Although I could tell there was some weight...

My '79 Cruiser with 260 starts "OK" most of the time. But sometimes after driving for awhile and then restarting it struggles to turn over. Probably either timing, battery, or hot starter. I think the timing and starter are OK so I am thinking it is the starter. Just wondering if anyone else...

I have the standard style gauge cluster in my Cutlass Cruiser and want to swap it out for one with a tachometer. I have two of the tachometer style clusters but neither has the PNDRL indicator in them. I know that there is a little cover inside the cluster where one would go. So, I am...

They aren't that much bigger than a 5.0L. So why are the 5.0Ls considered dogs and not a 5.7L? What's the big difference? Better heads? Better intake? ?? What's the dealio? My 4.0L in my Jeep has a lot more power than the 260 (4.3L) in my Olds. Seems like these smaller V8s sould have...

Either my steering box or power steering pump is leaking. I haven't looked close enough to tell. Steering is fine so I think replacing the seals would be the most cost effective solution. Has anyone done that before? Hard? Easy?

I am moving to a new house and will have too many projects and not enough space for the wagon. I am thinking of selling mine and am wondering what a realistic asking price would be for it? As you can see in the picture, it needs a paint job but there is no rust or dents. The back of the frame...

I had to drive between Winston-Salem and Raleigh a couple times this past weekend and saw 3 or 4 pimped out Gbodies. One was lifted way high and was pulled on the back of trailer. Two of them were broken down on the side of the road. :rofl: They all had nice paint jobs and those giant...

I pulled a couple rally style instrument clusters from a 79 and 80 Cutlass today. I guess you call they rally style. They have rpms, temps, pressures etc. I would like to swap out my normal instrument cluster from my wagon and put one of these in. What is involved in doing that? Are there...

I finally got around to checking the timing in the Cruiser. It was set at 12BTDC at idle. That would be great if it was a SBC but my manual says it should be 20BTDC @ 1100. So, I adjusted it and gave it a test run. WOW! Lots more power from a stand still and the engine even sounds better...

The rear rubber intake manifold seal on my Olds 260 is torn and leaking a little oil. I will get to it sometime but for now is it a big deal? Other than leaking a little oil, is it a problem? I don't think that leaky seal would cause a vacuum leak since it just vents the crankcase a little...

I have a 260 Olds. I was having these weird problems where it would stumble a bit when I touched the pedal. I figured it was either dirty carb, vacuum leak, or timing problem. So today, I rebuilt the carb to rule that out. In the process, I checked my intake bolts and noticed they were a...

I think I have antifreeze leaking through the transmission cooler into the transmission. I have noticed my transmission fluid level going up and my antifreeze keeps disappearing. I am pretty much planning on replacing the radiator and doing a transmission flush. But, before I do, are there any...

I have a Oldsmobile with a 260 and a 200 transmission (I think). It works alright but when it upshifts and there is load on the engine, the transmission will cause the car to jerk forward when it shifts. It's hard to explain the feeling by writing but it is kind of like driving a stick in 1st...

What holds the plastic windshield clips on the car that go across the top? I need to replace some but until I remove the trim I can't see what holds them in. But, I don't want to remove the trim until I know I can replace them without having to replace the glass, too! The one that is broken...

I have heard the wagon headline clips are no longer available and it is good to harvest from junkyard cars. Which clips are they talking about? Does anyone have a picture? I know where a junker Cruiser is and would like to get the clips but I am not sure what to get. Is there really no...

I worked on my A/C and took the evaporator out and put it back in. There was a bunch of hardened putty like stuff filling the big hole where the refrigerant lines go into the box holding the evaporator. If you look in your car you will probably see it there and know what i am talking about...

I got a new (reman) R4 compressor for my Cruiser. I replaced the dryer and orifice tube and tomorrow I am going to charge it up. But, I don't know how to add the compressor oil. Does anyone know?
