New to G-Bodies but not new to cars. Here is the latest project, my 1985 Hurts Olds:

http://www.HurtsOlds.com

Suspension upgrades are this winter's goals.

Question, the trans is now a 350. The speedometer is always 10 MPH off. How do I determine which speedo gear I need to make things right?

Thanks!
Tim

Nice 442, Welcome to the site

 

[85 Cutlass Brougham]

If that car is all original, it is neither an H/O nor a 442. The vinyl top precludes that possibility. If the rocker trim in the trunk and the upper door panels are original, it is a base Cutlass with some nice options. If the upper door panels are not original, it may have been a Cutlass Salon when new as they shared the same uppers as the Brougham and 442 models in 1985. Only the emblems would differ. Also, the wheels would have gold trim and be 15's on a 442.

You will notice that I never claimed it to be a H/O or a 442.

"my 1985 Hurts Olds"


no offense

It says HURTS....not HURST.

It is a bit of a dedication to my late wife, who always called them HURTS Olds.
