Yep; it took me a while to find it...

Go to ftp://arl.arizona.edu/lists/olds and download the zip
version, if you haven't already.  Unzip it, say into a directory
called 'c:\oldsfaq\'.  Then, open your HTML browser and open the
file:

file:///C|/oldsfaq/ofswp.htm#INDEX Dual Exhaust in G body Cutlass

...where oldsfaq is obviously the directory (or folder for you
newer computer folk) where you unzipped the zip file.  Then, I've
even bookmark'd the Table of Contents of my local version so it's
never more than a click away.

Take care.

Subject: Engine Blueprinting Booklet For Sale (01/29)

I have the following Oldsmobile related item which I would like to sell:

Reproduction of the Spring 1972 publication ³Super-Tuning and
Blueprinting Specifications for 1971-72 Oldsmobile 350 and 455 Cu.In.
Engines - Information Covers Street, Drag & Marine Performance².  18
single sided pages which cover factory performance parts used in the
1969 to 1972 Cutlass and 442 lines, including W-30 and W-31.  Includes
recommended modifications and adjustments to carbs, suspensions, and
transmissions, primarily for drag racing.  Also has a section on high
performance marine engines.  Originals of this publication were provided
upon request by Oldsmobile Engineering, but this is apparently not an
official Oldsmobile publication.  Iım sure that most of the information
in this is quite out of date now, but this is interesting reading none
the less.   Would the show display for your 71 or 72 be complete
without one?  $10.00, including shipping to any address in North
America.  (01/29/98)

Notify me directly at tgstoner@umich.edu if you would like to purchase
this item, or if you would like additional information about it.  Thank
you.

today and I am very happy with them.>


Hi Loris,

Your welcome and thanks for saying thanks!  I'm glad to have been some help.
Isn't Gordon a nice guy?  If you plan on going to the Olds Homecoming show
this summer in Lansing, he'll be there selling plates.   I'll be there with
my car, (weather permitting).

NOW, go get those "new" plates an "Authentic Registration".  I think you'll
agree that a one-time $35. fee for a non-expiring registration is a deal!
That's right, NON-EXPIRING!  Until the state of MI changes the law anyway.

If you go this route your "new" plates won't need any "Month" or "Year"
tabs.  {Cool law}   8>)

The '70-'72 350s each had distinct heads:

1970= #6
1971= #7
1972= #7a

Now, I'm certain that the #7a heads have induction-hardened exhaust seats
(not hardened inserts). I wouldn't bet on the #6 or plain #7 heads having
them, though.

The earlier BB heads (performance "F" and "H" heads) are *rumored* to have
hardened exhaust seats, but I've never seen any hard engineering data on
this. Mondello is characteristically vague on this point.;;

But, if you've got #7a heads, they are absolutely hardened exhaust-seat
heads from a 1972 350.

Did anyone get some Internet Day advertising spam, and when you
unsubscribed, you got a message from Majordomo@md.newslinx.com.  Is this
related to the olds majordomo?

I'm not much for reading message headers, so I don't know if this came
to me personally or to the list, the Majordomo confused me.


Contact me personally if you need more info..


Sorry to be non-olds (although for those interested, I'm getting a new
homepage, soon to be in-tact, and on-olds (+ duct - tape , etc....)

COD ?
To Finland ?
No Way.

Another way to not to be ripped off is to make the deal public. In this way
there is
ALWAYS a third party that has "seen" the deal and can help if something is
going wrong.

Remeber the Ignition switch to our Niny ?
If we would have involved some "official" payment methods, we would have paid double
the prize of the thing. And what would we have got with the money ? IMHO:
nothing at all.

In Finland we have a poor understanding of moral. I ran a company some 6 years ago
which was drawn into pancropsy because some of my clients didn't want to pay
of the
work I did for them. They didn't have anything to claim but they thought that
it was fine
not to keep on our WRITTEN contracts. From here I learned that no matter how "secure"
documentation You may have, You can become a target of cheating and negligence anyway.

So, If the prize is not too high, I would take the risk of being ripped. Just because
the chances are very small. I realize that internet is a good place for
committing a crime
because the documentation You get from here is so easy to manipulate and even counterfit.
If I was a thief, I would NOT "advertise" myself here in Oldsmobile mail list.
You see,
we are some 500 (Greg, how many are we?) readers here. It's just too likely
that somebody
in this list is living right across the street. Another thing is that the documentation
HERE is NOT easy to manipulate because of the multitude of copies produced.

A suspicious attitude against people limits Your actions. For some reason I
have a very
nice picture of the people around me. Life is just TOO SHORT to be wasted in thinking
everything twice. If You get ripped because of Your optimistic attitude,
consider it as
the prize of broader smile and longer life !
