Well.....had my car in the driveway, getting it ready for a show when all of a sudden, BANG!!! Neighbor kid hit an errant golf ball in my direction. It was right at dark and I originally thought that it had just hit the house. Him and his dad came over and apologized and were on their way...

I am pretty close to pulling the trigger on a 350 Olds engine for my 87 Cutlass. I don't know the full details about it but the guy who helped build it claims that it has 10.1 compression, and is full of "good parts". I am building my Cutlass to be a pro touring car that will mainly see street...

Noticed last week after I got home from a show that I had a small coolant leak under my Cutlass. It was just a slow, steady drip coming from somewhere near the bottom of the timing chain cover. I checked the coolant level and it was good, then I drove it around town for awhile to see if the leak...

I'm am going to be purchasing a 350 and turbo 350 trans for $400 and would like to get some buildup ideas. First of all, I don't know what year the block or the heads are. That really doesn't matter to me because I would like to do a total rebuild with aftermarket heads. I would like to achieve...

Pulled the codes off of my 87 Cutlass tonight. I got 21 and 4 or 44. Can anyone tell me what these are???

Car has been running rough ever since I pulled the carb off and had it rebuilt. Finally pulled the trouble codes today and got 21 and 4 or 44. I tried to find a chart that shows the codes but I can't seem to be able to download one. Can anyone help me with these codes???

Alright, the 307 in my Cutlass had been running really rich for about three years now. This year I decided to have the carb rebuilt to try to solve the problem. When the guy pulled the carb apart, he found that the TPS was broken. We couldn't find one in town and I was heading to a cruise the...

I'm heading out on the 18th to Norwalk with my dad and was wondering if anyone else on here might be going.

A guy near me has a 350 Olds and Turbo 350 trans for sale and says that $400 will take it all. Sounded like a great deal to me but was wondering what your opinions were. Motor hasn't ran in probably 10 years so it will need a freshening. A good buddy of mine helped build the motor and said that...

Can somebody tell me what the trim pieces are made out of? Chrome? Stainless steel? Aluminum? I have some fine scratches in them that really show up when the sun is at a low angle in the sky. I have tried chrome polish, wax, Never Dull, all to no avail. Please tell me what this stuff is so I...

Can anyone help me with symptoms of a blown head gasket??? I had my carb rebuilt and in the process found out that the TPS was broken. It idled really rough but was drivable once it was warm. I have only driven it once while waiting for a new TPS in the mail.(about a 50 mile round trip). I have...

Well, the 307 in my 87 Cutlass hasn't been running the greatest for some time now. It had been running really rich for a while now, chugging black smoke from takeoff and getting horrible gas mileage. Rebuilt the carb and discovered that the TPS was broken. Couldn't find the part anywhere around...

How many members on here are into the pro touring style??? That is the direction I'm headed in with my 87 Cutlass and just was wondering if anybody here had any tips or tricks. Right now I have an Air Ride suspension, 17" torq thrust II wheels, and Nitto tires. Power plant, trans and rear end...

Hello, my name is Brian and I live in Corry, PA, about 40 mins from Erie. I own an 87 Cutlass Supreme. I'm not sure of the factory color code but the car is a dark gray color with a gray vinyl top. I have installed an Air Ride suspension, 17" torq-thrust II wheels on all 4 corners with 245/45...

Found out that the TPS in my 87 cutlass is broken. I think that this may be causing the rough idle. Anyone else think that this could be the problem? Can anybody tell me where I can find a replacement? Thanks.

I have an 87 Cutlass Supreme with a 307 in it. The engine had been running really rich for a while and chugging the black smoke under hard acceleration. A knowledgeable carb guy in town offered to rebuild the carb for me and try to fix the problem. When he finished, I reinstalled it, cranked...
