Throttle/Carb issue (Phantom accel)

it sounds like your ready to go. Another failing point ahead for me was fuel pumps. They don't always adjust accordingly to the newer style gas w blend and ethanol. plan ahead; they are not very expensive to do either

That's the answer then, these cars need to be driven...just like us old men, we need to keep moving or rigormortis sets in...😵

Lol thankfully im 21 years young lol, I see a long life ahead of her though..

I ran Seafoam through the gas and only full either Hess or Citgo 93 Nobody else.

Oh I see. My advice would be just hold on to that one if it the body is rust free along with the frame. A clean rustfree cutlass up here is alot harder to find than a cutlass with a v8. Besides when you get the chance buy a olds 350v8 dont bother with the 307. Most people plan on droping olds 350s in place of the 307. Like me. Lol. Its not rocket science at all. A v6 and a v8 dont change much...just some advise😀

I just feel like its easier to start off with a V8 car

That's the beautiful thing about Cutlass; unlike mustang it is pretty easy to go v8 from the v6. Whether you go chevrolet sbc or stay olds a trans swap or rebuild is something most people end up having to do anyway regardless

my Firebird, it was much easier to start with a V8 car, but hey if you guys say its easy then its easy right?
