I asked this question before when everyone was on vacation and didn't
get an answer so I'll try again.  The needle of my oil pressure gage (69
Cutlass ralley pac)has started fluctuating rapidly from engine start-up
until the engine warms up and then it stabilizes to indicate a normal
pressure reading.  The fluctuation is aggrevated if I'm driving on a
rough road and when accelerating.  Again it will eventually return to a
norm steady reading.  Any ideas?

Found a car that really interests me... so much so that I may buy it
Monday when I get my paycheck... depending on what that check is for.
Found a 1972 98 4 dr..  It's got the original 455 4bbl w/ GA heads... runs
very good... odometer says 60 something thou... and that's probably
right going by the wear on the car and the way the motor runs...
unfortunately it hasn't had a great life... rusted quite a bit but oh
well... chances are I'm not going to fix this car back... just drive it
for a while and then get a G-body to put the 455 in.  The guy had it
priced at 500... but I chewed him down to 350 and trust me... that's as
low as he was gonna go... as I said I may buy it Monday... if not... I'll
probably offer 200 for both those 64's and that '82 Cutlass... and then
maybe get that Delta 88 in VA too... don't know yet...

Whatever I DO I'll keep y'all posted... and I'll be sure to get some pics

Subject: Running Hot- Solved!

     I had been having problems running hot in the 86 Cutlass. I just
recently installed a set of gauges so I could track this problem. On a
long highway cruise with the AC on, temps would creep up to 200, 210,
220, 230! I'd have to shut off the AC and run the heater just to knock
the temps down a bit.
     The fan clutch had that good 'roar' on startup so I thought it
was OK.
     The radiator tubes looked a little corroded so I figured I'd try
a new radiator. (NAL: $104!) I put it in today and that did it! I
can't get the gauge to go past 190.....even with the AC blasting! :)







got the radiator changed in the 86 Cutlass today

Subject: 64 Cutlass Holiday Coupe

I just bought a 64 Cutlass Holiday Coupe.  The car spent its life in Oregon
and has little or no rust.  The original paint looks good though there are
many little paint chips.  I bought the car for my 17 year old daughter who
loves old cars.  It turns out that I am having fun getting it in shape and
driving it.  I grew up in detroit and remember all the cars from the 60's.
I was much more excited then by the 442.  The inside is very straight too.
There is one rip in the drivers seat and the others are great.  I have the
original paper with the price and all the options.  Mechanically it feels
pretty good.  It only has 98,000 miles on the original motor and
transmission.  The compression was 100 on 5 cyls and 87 on the other three.
I have to go .....But does anyone know about a car like this.  I would like
to talk with you if you do.  Can I get parts seat cover???etc.

I think Coker has charts in they Catalog.  Just so happens that I can't
find mine right now.  But they have charts to convert from bias wide
whites to radial wide whites, so I know they're in there.  Probably
looking at 225/14 or so.

What are the other specs of the cooling system?  190-degree t'stat?  Regular

Also, did it hold at 230?  Mine would creep up, and sometimes kinda sit
there for a few minutes, and then slide back down to the low side of 220.
It never got above 230, though.

     It's just a regular 86 Cutlass Supreme 307 Y car. The t-stat is
the stock 195 degree unit. Stock clutch fan and shroud. No, it
wouldn't hold at 230 and at that point would overfill the recovery
tank and I'd lose coolant. Not a good thing. The water temp gauge is a
new SunPro mechanical unit so I do trust it!
     Jason, are you gauges factory or aftermarket?

No, they're factory.  I don't have any aftermarket stuff in the
interior...just plain stock rallye pack.  I had an incident earlier this
summer where the temp gauge would spike up to 290 or 300 for 10 seconds or
so, then fall back down.  Couldn't figure it out.  Charley suggested that it
might be air in the system.  Probably was, since the problem stopped right
after I flushed the system early in the summer.  I was actually going to
replace the temperature sending unit (I had already purchased it), but the
problem stopped, so I returned the part.

Yes, I did know exactly what comedy troupe I was referencing in my addendum to

((Bruces sketch: "There is NOOO ... rule 5!"))

But I did not expect the Spanish......
(Earumph! Harumph!)

I mean to say that I did not expect to provide the basis for a non-Olds

Addendum to the tire wear Q's.
I may try to swap te p205/70r14's with p225/70r15's...
(Mainly 'cause that is what is on the rear wheels)
Unless anyone with experience can tell me that there is definitely not enough
room in the wheel well of a 1965 full-size oldsmobile for that tire.

Besides, the final version on the record I have is;

"Amongst our weaponry is: fear, suprise, ruthless eficiency, an almost

Subject: Bad Noises

After changing the noisey water pump on my 307, I found another very ugly
sounding noise that I could barely hear before. It's a noise like a diesel
makes. Piston slap?

I've had similar sounds from a very worn V-6 in the past. It would do it
when the motor was hot and when under heavy load like climbing hills.

This time it's a little different. Only happens at low speeds, first gear,
when pulling away from a stop. Noise stops when tranny shifts to 2nd. Can't
make it happen by nailing the throttle or increasing the load. Seems to be
comming from left side of the engine (not the tranny).

It just started last week after changing the oil. I suppose at 140K miles I
should suspect bad things, but I'm hoping there might be another
explanation. Like, can an alternator make noises like that?

307 broke? <sniff>

 1) Load Time - How long does your web site take
    to load?  How long should it take?  What about
    visitors who are using 14.4 or 28.8 baud modems?
    There are still millions of them in use.  What
    can be done to help speed things up?

 2) HTML Design - How well is your site programmed?
    Do you have any areas that are causing critical
    problems of which you may not even be aware?

    What about META Tags?  Do you know how vitally
    important they are with regard to search engines?

    site that point to other pages or web sites.
    Have you checked all your links to make certain
    that they are still functioning as planned?

 6) How Popular Is Your Site - Are there other web
    sites that are linked to your site?  This can
    help you in your web site positioning.

 7) Spelling Accuracy - This is where you can really
    make yourself look unprofessional.  Have you
    checked all your spelling?

Subject: First time ever  - 71Olds leaves us stranded

Hello fellow Oldsmobilers...
I need your mechanical assistance.  Last night I noticed the amp guage would
not go in the postive range.  Noticed the lights just got dimmer and dimmer.
After going for dinner, hoped in the convertible and turned the key,
nothing... not even a click...
My question is this... Simply replace the alternator?  If so, I want to
replace it with a chrome unit, any name brand recommendations.

By the way I'm mechanically inept... Usually take it to the garage and pay the
bill... This time I want to try to fix it on my own.  If details are required
this is in the 71 Cutlass Supreme with the 350 original engine.

One last thing, thanks for the advice on the chrome valve stem caps.  I will
pass on the C4, nuke devices,(LOL)  etc. and buy the little buggers in bulk.

Looking forward to your replies...

Ordered two sport mirrors from Everett @ E & G. Need to paint and install.
Replacing the left one which is remote, non sport. Will let you know how
install goes. Would like to paint them with something other than lacquer.
Refinished a few spots with regular old lacquer and it chips VERY easily.
Was trying to keep it original. Those mirrors hanging out past the body
will be collecting rocks and I would not care to refinish them every couple
of months as I have been going on the rest of the car. Illinois (this area)
has a lot of oil and chip roads which are hell on the paint. Any

- ---Lou,
       Do you have access to a spraygun?If so,get some paint mixed up
of the color you want and add a small amount of "flex additive",it's
main use is for like plastic parts<ie,front nose on late Olds >that
need to be able to move a little....It makes the paint a little
tough,without being brittle.

Subject: Re: Newbie's test and bio

H'lo, Olds listers,

That test was due to my having subscribed wrongly about three times and I was
going to make sure I was connected this time!!!

Thanks for all the replies; I feel secure now:-) John, I hadn't heard of
Rocket talk...I just this week finally found some Olds sites and haven't
really been through them yet. Did find the FAQs and have read some of them.
This is my second attempt this year to connect with vintage Olds info on the
web. Searches are flaky because there are so many dealers advertising that it
is hard to find the 10 good hits out of the 406, 735 that the engine returns
:-)

I suppose I should do a little bio here, so folks will know why I'm in this
territory. I am not (so far) an old car owner or restorer. I had some of them
back when they weren't so old, having graduated high school in 1962. My first
car was a 46 Ply 4 dr sedan, and I had a couple early 50s Ply/Dodges before
"graduating" to newer cars.

As to my background, I am a sales engineer in the rotating equipment
industry...turbines, compressors, pumps, etc. I have ten years background in
the machining industry as a machinist and a toolamaker, so I have the manual
skills. I have restored two motorcycles, refurbished a number of others, and I
am a lifelong model airplane flyer...free flight and control line, no RC.

Anyway, I have always admired the older cars, thinking them much more elegant
than recent offerings. However, I have never wanted the responsibility for
keeping a classic in good condition while driving it, and I never wanted a car
I couldn't drive (or boat I couldn't use, or gun I couldn't shoot, etc.) as I
am not a collector-type. So, I was never ready to take the plunge even though
I was offered some pretty nice hardware at times.

Well, I saw something last summer that has kept me piqued. While travelling
through Huntsville AL, I saw a "road parade" of rods and classics. One of the
autos was a late 40s GM (probably Olds, but it was at a fair distance) torpedo
bodied 2 dr. Well, it was just about the most beautiful car I'd ever seen with
its light tan paint job and those voluptuous lines (sensual, nearly sexy).

My uncle had owned one of these in the very late 40s/early 50s, and I had
always discounted them as "ordinary", having such familiarity of them. As a
matter of fact, it sat on his farm and rusted away..I can remember seeing it
still there, full of bullet holes from us boys' practice, as late as maybe the
mid 70s. Had someone told me then that someday I'd lust after one, I'd have
said he was crazy.

Going on, I found out earlier this year from my hot-rodding BIL about the
technique of sub-framing an old body. This was a revelation, and presented a
technology that removed the last objection I had to owning a classic...the
desire to be able to drive it as "my car" rather than just getting it out when
I wanted to show it off.

I am not yet ready to buy a car, as I have to clear other projects from my
garage to give building room, and really, I hope to buy one with the major
sub-chassis work done. But, this is the hardest bunch of cars I can imagine to
find info on. After searching the web for maybe 12 hours in 4 different
sessions, I finally discovered *one* picture (unidentified) of a car of this
type. It is at:
 <A HREF="http://emiko.igcom.net/~b1939olds/index.htm">Oldsmobile Photo Links
</A>

Very pretty, but it is only a front qtr view, so not much shows of the fine
lines that I appreciate so much. If anyone on the list can point me to photos
of these torpedo-bodied GMs, I'd appreciate it, even if they aren't Olds. Of
course, the Buicks and Caddies were fancier than the CPO versions and that
ruined the sensuality of the style, but they still are beautiful cars. I am
somewhat interested in a Pontiac if I can't find an Olds, but much less in a
Chevy. I'd jump up to the Cad before I'd restore a Chevy (No insult to the
Chevy lovers out there intended, just personal preference...there are plenty
of fine chevies around, so I want something just *that* much different :-)

Anyway, back to the bio stuff. Other interests (additional to those mentioned
above) are classic boats, woodworking (hand tools), blacksmithing, astronomy
and telescope making, , early music, bluegrass and blues, others that I can't
remember right now. I have two teenagers still at home, a Ford van, a Bronco,
and an old Saab (daughter's car). We live in the country near Knoxville TN.

Finally, if anyone has a line on that Huntsville AL car or a club there, I
would like to track the woner down to get a close look at it.

Thanks for the welcome. I don't have much to contribute, but I look forward to
lots of pleasurable lurking.

Cheers/Don Carron

Looking for a part which should be common

It sounds like a bad alternator or voltage regulator.  If a battery goes
dead you generally won't notice the lights going dim unless you hit the
brakes or turn signal.  Everything will work until you shut the car off
and try to re-start it.  When an alternator fails, the battey runs the
car until it goes dead.  That's why you notice the lights dimming and
the engine will eventually start running crappy as the ignition loses
power.  You can use a meter to check the voltage at the battery with the
engine running, you should get around 13-14 volts.  If you get 12 or
less, then the alternator is a likely culprit. Many auto parts store
chains such as pep boys, advance auto, and autozone will check the
alternator for you, and I think they can even check the voltage
regulator.  So you could just take it to one of them to test it for you
to double check your own diagnosis, then replace whatever isn't
working.

Good luck.

I'd check the battery and the connections on the alternator.  I had a
problem like what you're describing, and all it was was that one of
the plugs on the alternator vibrated loose.  Check all of the
connections.  Jump the engine, and see if it stays running after you
disconnect the jumper cables.  If it does, then there's no problem
with the alternator.  If it stays running, let it run for a while so
that the battery can charge.  Then shut it off and restart it.  If it
does't start, the battery probably isn't holding the charge.  Good Luck.

Well, he ~did~ get the capital lettering right there :)  Oh, wait,

Oh, I don't know...  Nobody contributes a lot, but ~everybody~ contributes a
little, and that makes it all the better.

Welcome aboard.  The ~old~ Olds's seem to be fairly rare on the net.  Thanks to
this list, however, that can ~no longer~ be said for the Oldsmobiles in
general.  We've made Olds one of the most prominant makes on the net, finally
:)  Now we just need to work on Petersen Publishing.....  (Makers of ch*vy 
craft
and hot ch*vy...)

Since you just signed on, you've not yet begun to realize the depth of this
list, I'm sure.  Being a dead weekend, you're getting broke in smoothly :)  
Most
members are gone somewhere else...  Some of us are working overtime...  :(   An
average day will bring in 80 to 120 messages, depending on how many keep dying
threads alive....  Or keep waking the threads that need to die...  etc...  :)
Many of the threads, however, have tons of useful information that you'll
love...

Better go, though...  Try to get something accomplished with the day...  Finish
eating and head back to work.  (The ~sad~ part is that I'll probably be there
tomorrow, too!...)

Subject: Radiator Swap H*lp Needed

I'm putting a BB my '72 Cutlass Supreme Convertible.

When I got the car it had AC and a 350.  The AC is history.

I measured the brackets (top & bottom) to accept the radiator and they're
about 3.5" wide.  The bottom brackets are spot welded.

I'd like to put in a 4 core radiator.

I remember a thread a while back that discussed changing the top plate.

Anybody got one for sale?

What's the story on the bottom brackets?  I assume I change those.  Anybody
got some?

If my thinking is wrong on this would somebody please enlighten me?

TIA

You could definitely order one in 1976...possibly in 1977 also.  Not in
1978, though.

Yes, I believe there is.  Some kind of thing with two rollers.  Don't
know what it's called or where you'd find one.

W-30 conv!  I can't wait for it to get here so I can detail and show it.  It
is the cover car on Year One catalog, won best of class at the Olds Nationals
in Atlanta, and best of show at the FL Olds show.  I have to thank Drew for
letting me buy "one of his children" and Bryceman for his classifieds.  Too
much else to say here, but keep an eye open for my web page as soon as I can
figure out how to make one.
WhoooHoooo!!!  Hope everyone else had as great of a weekend holiday as I did.

Alternately, 1968 was the first.
