Changed the front swaybar body mounts to energysuspension set. Nice complete set with fair price.

Couldn't found a trim on top of the radio, I would have wanted one with oldsmobile logo. So I got it 3D printed, pretty cool 😀

Havent updated lately, but I have done some progress. Changed the carb to 750cfm Holley with vacuum secondaries. Yeah, I know its huge for my tiny 350, but with vacuum secondaries it should work okay. I wanted to change to Holley for the 403. So I did the modifications to cables etc, and also assembled a pressure regulator, turns out my Carter mechanical pump made huge pressure. I think that was the biggest issue with Carter AFB, all thought it didn't fload. Pressure was about 10psi. Still some jetting to do with the Holley but should be okay.

Also assembled the timing gear. Cloyes kit. A friend of mine going to help me check that the cam timing is spot on.
 
Had a bit of an issue with jetting the holley, turns out intake manifold gasket leaked. Changed a new one, seems to be workin' great 🙂

Would someone have a front embled in a good condition for sale and would be willing to ship it to Finland?
 
Havent done anything noticeable lately, but today I did install the charcoal canister. The car didn't have it when I bought it(I guess it never had), and I have had a little bit of struggle with gas/etc smells. So I did a breather line and installed the canister to its original(?) position. Like so.

Been driving the Cutlass lately all day, since my daily driver has been a bit of a nightmare 😀 Got to get it fixed before winter 😉

Few parts also showed up today.
