Anyone had any luck finding a temp sender for stock gauges for the Cutlass rally pac? I am currently using the original one but plugged into the intake manifold on top of the engine in the place where the temp vacuum delay valve is supposed to go. Anything come close to the right Ohms but fits...

I want to have all my body bushings, ball joints and upper and lower arm joints replaced. Mine are all crusty and desiccated. If I took it to MIdas I know they would want $2500. They wanted just $700 for ONE set of ball joints and the driver side A arm bushings. If I took it to a mom and pop...

I have a 1980 Cutlass. It has a th350. Want to convert to overdrive tranmission. But not sure I can tackle EVERYTHING in one weekend. So I want to do it in stages. So I have determined that I will need the following... 1. Used transmission 2. transmission jack (buy or rent?) hmmm 3. t/v cable with the...

I want to put in a 2004r and all the research I have found says that I only need to move my existing trans crossmember and the th2004r will fit. However I have seen a few instances where they say the Cutlass did not have those holes already drilled. Did the 80 have them? And what would they look...

I just bought a XM radio It fits directly in the cig lighter. The problem is the radio spins inside the outlet because the whole outlet is lose. There is a ring that goes around the chromed outlet that snaps into the hole for the outlet. This ring thing comes off when I press the radio in and...

So my upper control arm bushings are toast. They lasted 32 years but now there is a "clank" sound coming from the driver's side and the bushings are very deteriorated. So what do I do? Midas wants $700 bucks to replace the bushings, the upper ball joints (which were replaced only 3 years ago...

Anyone ever have a problem with the A/C blowing warmer air at idle than when moving? It is still "cool" but it turns much colder once I start moving again. Also, it takes a good 5 minutes to start blowing cold cold air. What temps should I be getting at the middle left vent? I checked my service...

I just bought a NOS idle solenoid for my Jet Stage II Q-jet. There were no screws included since I would have just re-used the ones. However, the Jet one did not come with the screws, only the pre-drilled holes. Anyone know a size, thread for those screws? It looks like they are beveled? Or if...

I am trying to mount the braces on my serpentine belt set up. I have discovered that I can NOT use the passenger side brace because my headers block the path the brace takes from the mount point on the head to where it mounts on the compressor. The stupid instructions from GM Performance are...

I posted a thread like this in the Cutlass board, but nobody there seems to know. maybe if I open up my question to the REST of you all someone will be able to help? I bought a Steadfast colar and I want to paint it to match my column. Here is the SEM code. ***Dark Blue 26 (80-82) -2 years...

I am thinking of buying a Steadfast security collar. I want to paint it to match my steering column first. I hear the SEM paints match well and are fairly good. Does anyone know what color I need? Are there other options?

I am visiting my grandma and was wondering if anyone knows of a pick-a-part in Inland Empire (I am in Ontario) with a 78-80 Cutlass. I am looking for tail lights

I have had my Cutlass since I was 16. So.. since 1996. IN all those years I never had a rear sway bar. They were not standard in 1980 on the Cutlass Supreme. I don't think they became standard till 1981? I have never seen a G body without one. I guess they were not considered necessary on A...

Can this be done? I want the better mileage I am not getting with my Edelbrock 1406. Also I think having the ability to hook up my vapor lines again will help with the gas smell and further increase my mileage by returning unburned fuel instead of it evaporating into nowhere. Is this a wise set...

I found a donor Console/Floor sh*t steering column out of an identical year Cutlass. What else do I need? Can I just buy a B&M shifter? Is there anything I need? Do I just take out the old column, attach the new one at the steering box, bolt to the firewall and the two other bolts that hold it...

Has anyone taken a stab at building a "stock looking" Rally pac, only with NEW gauges? If so, what does it look like? How did it turn out?

I ordered the wrong oil pan for my SBC 350 Crate engine BUT luckily... they block was made as a replacement and so it has the bump-out on both sides for the Oil tube. The dipstick that I WAS using on the drivers side is now too short because the passenger side does not have the built in tube...

So I am nearing the end of the engine upgrade and before I pop the thing back into my Cutlass. Meanwhile I bought some fancy metal brushes and I have a half can of POR-15. I am also upgrading some things to chrome and painting the engine block etc. What does your engine bay look like? Any advice...

I am trying to figure out what spark plugs to use. I have done a lot of searches and everyone has differing applications. Some guys like hot, some cold, other want more power, other want better reliability. (BEFORE you tell me what plugs YOU are using please read the following and take into...
