    LSx Swap Parts Database

    I used the BRP kit but I wish they would have set the motor mounts back about an inch and as mentioned, the a/c compressor won't fit the factory location. Where I live it's cold most of the time so I don't care about the a/c :o I'm installing a in-tank pump (just because I don't want to hear...

    tunnel ram street use

    Yes! Check out HOTROD Magazine's latest issue, March 2013, page 108, and they go over this exact issue :o . I think you can read it on the web, but it goes into the myth of tunnel rams. They're not the "perfect" street intake, but they work just fine.

    307 ticking after loss of fuel and mods

    Could be an exhaust leak from welding up the air pipes, check that first. If that's ok, take a stethescope or a long screwdriver and touch the end of it to the BASE of the valve cover where you hear the noise and put it to your ear. Go along the valve cover untill you hear it the loudest and...

    ???SHOULD I JUNK A CLASSIC???

    From my experiences..... Once these cars start rusting, it's hard to stop them! The Cutlass i have now is the 5th G-body that I've owned. If the first one didn't rot out, I'd still have it. If your taking body classes it's good to have a "practice" car. Floor pans are cheap and it would give you...

    Kind of a weird question

    I've been working in dealerships for almost 20 years and GOOD parts people are a rare breed! In the car business, i've found that there are two types of people... the people that are there to collect a paycheck and the people that want to be the best in the business. I've been lucky enough to...

    85 cutlass 442 carb problems

    Like said before... start with a good tune-up....... plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, fuel filter. Usualy "bucking" is an ignition problem. the knocking noise you described could be caused by an ignition cross fire (spark jumping to the wrong cylinder). Also your fuel filter could be...
