I cleaned up my tail lights and tried out the Red VHT lens paint to cover the sun fade. I am really impressed with the results.

Well...today I took the cutlass for a ride through the country to clean out the old gas and warm up the joints. After a 10 mile ride, brought it home to check a few things. While it was idling in the driveway, I was checking the timing, idle, mixture...etc. and I noticed that the fan wasnt coming on. Looked at the temp gauge and it was at 250 and climbing fast! I shut it down and it started sounding like a boiler getting ready to pop....scared me half to death! Needless to say, I yank that electric fan off and put the stock fan on. Turns out, the relay had melted and wasnt working. I guess the moral of the story is.....dont fix it if it aint broke!

Yep dont fix what is not broken I've learnt that the hard way countless times and still have not got the hint. :lol:

Swapped out my "freshly" rebuilt Qjet for another "freshly" rebuilt Qjet and im having the same problems. The car wont idle without the idle screw being all the way in and then it idles at 12-1300 rpm. I spent 4 hours today playing with the timing and got no where. I can drive it fine but cant get the idle lower than 1200 rpm and thats wayyy too high for this motor considering I have to put the brake pedal through the floor to keep it from moving at a light. The only thing I can think of is I have a large amount of water in my gas because the first carb was having problems the day after I filled it up. The guy that builds my carbs says he cant find anything wrong with the Qjet I thought had a bad accelerator pump :blam:
vacuum leaks?

Added domelight supervision to my alarm, and cleaned up some wiring in my trunk.
Tried making my speedo work, cable is good. Gears appeared fine. Still Wont work. Guess I gotta drop the driveline and all that to take a better look at the gear.
