Re: A quick introduction! My new(to me) 79 Cutlass.
I'll be in Middletown on Sunday/Monday until around 5 if you want to take a gander. My interior isn't -that- nice. The car is very photogenic, that's about all. Lol. My headliner is shot and the seat covers are wearing out, plus my A-pillar trim is pretty much shot.
Today we got a nice amount of work done though. Fixed the door hinge pin, which caused a lot of cursing. It also took a little bit of paint off the fender because the door slipped off the jack while we were trying to position it. Sucks, but.. sh*t happens. Got the door aligned properly though, the driver's side was always a bit derpy. It could use a tad more but I'm much happier with it, especially with the fact that it actually closes right and my window seals to the weatherstripping for once. Also adjusted my timing a tad more and got it to a sweet spot, hooray for burn outs again!
But I discovered 2 things today: I need a master cylinder sooner than later and a thermostat housing. There's a hairline crack where it bolts down which is causing it to weep out a tiny bit of coolant here and there. Kinda sucks.
Also anyone have an idea of what carb a 350 Cutlass would have originally came with? I'm getting tired of this Holley double pumper. Seems too big for the motor.
