    Which secondary rods are you running on QJet.

    I'm just running the stock 307 Y engine in my cutlass, it has headers and true duals, and a VIN 9 cam. I'm getting ready to mod my secondary linkage to open 100%, it only opens about 60% now. I have heard to do this you need to install new secondary rods to match the newfound airflow. I read a...

    Which secondary rods are you running on QJet.

    Which secondary rods are you guys running on your CCC Quadrajets? I am getting ready to mod the secondaries so they open up all of the way, and was wondering which metering rods you guys were running? Thanks.

    What else do you drive besides a g-body?

    I have my 87 Honda Accord, bought from original owner, 76,000 miles. It's a good little work car, it is in nearly mint condition and it has CAI, 17" Enkei Rims, and newer Accord dizzy and ecu. It's lowered a little and strut tower braces front and back. Then there is my '09 E-150 work van...

    That is awesome, I bet that combo runs well too.

    Olds 330 hi performance motor for my 83 H/O

    I found some interesting info on the 330. One of the biggest reasons people seem to be straying away from this engine is piston availability. Well I stumbled across something really cool that may just solve this problem. Early Mopar 360 pistons will fit and are a 4.000" in. bore, the mopar...

    Cutlass Service Manual

    The manuals I'm looking at are a 3 book set. They are the original '88 manuals. I would definitely love to have the book with the fastener specs as well, it would be great for restoration, and a time saving reference. If you know what it is called or what it looks like let me know. Thanks, FEX3.

    Cutlass Service Manual

    I have been looking through the forums and have noticed a lot of people referring to the Factory Service Manual. I am thinking about buying one for my '88 Cutlass, are they a good reference? I am really big on research and reference material. Plus I wouldn't mind having a copy of it to match my...

    got gears!!!! 323

    That wouldn't be so bad, since I plan on running an 8.5 in the future anyway. Right now I'm driving the car pretty often, and I am going to try to do everything big all at once in the future. Thanks for the info. BTW, this may be a dumb question, but, doesn't the 7.5" still have the C-Clip...

    Composite Hoods

    This guy in Suffolk, VA has this huge list of composite hoods for cheap. If anyone is seriously interested give him a call. I haven't spoke with him so I don't know if it is legit or not, or of what quality these hoods are. But if someone really wants to buy one I don't live too far from there...

    got gears!!!! 323

    That is a good point. Are there any 28 spline axles in the length I need for the Cutlass? Will F-Body or S-10 truck axles work? I have read that the 28 splines are beefier than the 26, but don't want to drop a lot of cash in the 7.5" with custom axles. I'm just looking for better acceleration on...

    Front nose & tailight swap?

    I would like to swap my 88 Euro nose out for a '86-earlier nose. I like the shovel nose a lot better. But I like the tails on my '88.

    so whats the best weatherstrip brand for complete kit?

    Man, that sucks. I have used the Metro on my old '72 Cutlass I had, and it wasn't a perfect fit, but with a little tweaking it ended up working out nice. My window sweeps are non-existent! It is the only weatherstripping that is worn out other than the upper window mouldings. I have to run tape...

    F Body Spoiler!

    Yes, that definitely looks good. I am trying to find one that will fit my Cutlass with the raised outer quarter/trunk panels. I'll have to check the local pick n' pull to see if I can find one.

    Best looking G-body?

    I've always loved El Caminos, H/Os, SS Montes, GNs, Malibus and Cutlasses in that order. They are all the best looking cars to come out of Detroit in the late 70's-80's for sure. Oh, there is a '86 GP in a junkyard close by, and after looking at it they are really nice cars too. I like their...

    Are the 3-series carriers hard to find? Would it be easier/cheaper to source a carrier, or just use the spacer? The spacer set-up seems to be pretty solid. I am getting ready to swap out my 2.56:1 set for a 3:42 set out of a Camaro. I hope that will give me a little more pick-up. Does anyone...

    7.5 gear change

    Do the ring spacers reduce the durability of the set-up? Or are they pretty much the same as having a 3 series carrier?

    What is the best looking wheel on a cutlass G body

    I would like to try and graft some olds or 442 emblems onto the set that I am getting. I think they would be a good set to ride on until I get my factory SSIIs refinished.

    Factory Dual Hump Crossmember.

    Was there ever a factory dual hump crossmember made for G-Bodies? I found one on CG for $20, it is in good shape, and it looks perfect for my Cutlass. The ad says it is for the 200-4R, I plan on going to true dual exhaust as soon as possible. If anyone knows if this was actually offered, or is...

    Custom Gauge Faces for Cutlass?

    Sorry, after a little research I found some. For $20 they look pretty good. I am ordering some and see how they turn out. Here is the link if anyone is interested: http://whitegauges.net/products/1978%25 ... auges.html
