thats gonna be a cool *ss sedan when done
did your sedan come with a factory rear swaybar?
I just found out mine has the F41 bars front and rear. I dont think I've ever seen a base-model supreme with them before.

Love your approach with Cutlasses as well 🙂

Mine did not have any sway bar in the rear; these were different times. I<m expecting a big suspension change using these GN items. Just hope it will not be too harsh a ride...

Got these fiber optic light indicators. Awesome stuff.

Yesterday - replaced front sway bar with a 1"1/4 GN unit, and also rear coils+shocks. Car has a very firm rear and soft/bouncy front. Lower stance also for the rear end.


Front coils and shocks to come. Started to buy stuff to prepare the install. Tie rods only 18$ each????

Finally completed the rear sway bar installation:


After killing this f***cker - lower shock absorber bolt :


So now, the car has a full GN setup in the rear / GN sway bar in the front. The handling is already much improved. While the ride is still comfortable, running over a bump shakes the car a lot more than before - will need to tighten a lot of nuts, vises and bolts in the interior of the car to eliminate road noises.

Glad to see it handling better. For your TBI swap, find a CCC 3.8 distributor. Tough to find up here, many guys on here should have one lying around. I got one off a 307 from a member to control the timing on my TBI Olds 350. Even the wire colour is the same.

Noted! I have someone on ebay who is putting a TBI conversion kit for me, will be using a fully computerized ignition timing. The challenge is to do so with an odd-fire engine. Thanks.

Where did you get the parts/bushings/sleeves for the rear sway bar installation? Do they attach to the inside of the control arms?

According to Wikapedia 77-up is even fire. It should be a matter of matching your firing order on your original distributor on the CCC distributor. Very unique project. So many up here throw in the sbc up here, especially since the factory did it to most to begin with.
