I have an 86 Olds Cutlass Supreme, it was originally a Vin Y car. The previous owner butchered up the CCC system when he couldn't get the car to run right.I put a rebuilt 403 in and now I'm in the process of switching it back to the CCC system, and actually have the car running now. But I have a check engine light, and a few parts/plugs left over lol. I'm hoping someone in the New Jersey, New York, or Pennsylvania area has a 307 powered cutlass that is relatively stock or original so I can take a few pics and make notes of where the sensors are what wires are hooked to them and how the vacuum lines are routed. I'm a nice guy quiet and respectful so I wont be obnoxious when I am at your house or business, I just really want to figure this thing out so they car will run right. Please let me know if anyone can help.
Does anyone have a relativly stock engine bay?

That's one way to do it but just getting a manual would be best. Plus, a manual would explain what each item does, and what happens when it's not working correctly. I get most of mine from these guys. http://www.factoryautomanuals.com/
I have a Mitchell guide but, it tells me there is a lot of sensors that don't exist. That's why Id like to just compare to someone else.
What yr car is yours? My 82 was a V-6 car so no luck here but my neighbor has a 65k 87 442 bone stock withthe 307. I might be able to get a hold of him on one of his off days to snap some pics. He is a county cop so he works nights, so when I see him is when he needs help on his car or he is off when I am off. What general area do you need pics of up close?

I just took a bunch of pics just for reference before I pulled the 307 last week to put in the 403. Here are the pics, hope they help.
why are you running the computer with it? just curious. It would be a lot easier just to get rid of all that crap...
I take it you r on east PA ,NY
If in central come on over I got a 20000 mile 442 you can look at .

The reason I want to keep the electronics is its a daily driver, and I want to get the most gas mileage I can out of the car, I'm not the best at adjusting carburetors, it makes keeping the 200r4 super easy, Ive been reading up on the carb and its essentially a regular q jet except the comp controls the primary side of the carb so I should make decent power, and I went to school for electronics so I am very comfortable with them. Thanks Marcar I really appreciate the pics just having a little trouble seeing a few things, like the sensors on the passenger side fender well, and some of the wiring behind the carb, some of the vacuum lines. I unfortunately just need super detailed CSI style pics of like every angle of the engine compartment. I am located in north NJ about 10 minutes from the George Washington Bridge, and my car is an 86. Ive made sure I got an 86 carb, distributor, harness , and sensors from another 86 its just pretty much setting everything up. The computer was still intact when I got my car so that's not an issue, but I do have a spare 86 comp to.
