Why not just use a digital dash out of a Buick GN or GNX?  There are

Subject: More G-body digital dash

First, some have commented on the GN(x) digital dashes.  Repros available,
although I've never seen one.  I'd suspect the TR Homepage would have a shot,
I'll go look...  Digging in background, if I find, I'll post later.  But, one
issue with using the Buick package, you'll have to replace the entire dash, not
just the cluster.  I ~think~ all G body dashes will interchange, ~in entirety~
but the individual parts will ~not~.  So, if you want Quincy to boast that 
Buick
dash, from door to door, that might be an option.  I put GP interior in mine,
but kept the Olds dash, because it's ~gotta~ stay there, for me.  Change too
much, and it won't be an Olds anymore.  Went a little far with that console, 
but
it works ~so~ well in there...

On the Olds digital front, I found two of the masking units in my garage, one
standard, one rallye style.  Posted a picture ~here~:

http://members.tripod.com/~Oldsmagnet/gbodmask.jpg

Might spark more ideas, there.  The idiot cluster holes are cut off in the shot
(scanners only ~sooo~ big, ya know...)

Oh, here's one GN dash shot I found.  Don't know if there's any digital stuff
interlaced in there, but you can get a small idea of Buicks basic dash,
anyway...  Still looking

http://ni.umd.edu/gnttype/pictures/gaugpanl.jpg

Not seeing any more, but the TR Web page is ~huge~  Food for thought anyway, if
you'd like to continue searching/browsing on your own...

faster than it could make it up the tube into the carb...

Even worse part is, I find this out 5 minutes after paying my $10 to
race the car that night.  $10 bucks gone for the track, and $12 on the
cheapest fuel pump in town (getting new motor, want ALL new parts), and
to top it off, I drove it to where I know the most tools are (besides
work), I drove to my folks house...  No drinking.  Grrrr..

Like I said before:

Totally Sober (only get torn for the HARD repairs, and concentration
normally takes over on the clean up side)

No Cigs (A Pack a day smoker has a bad habit of making sure that a cig
is used at least once in a 4 hour time period not involving sleep)

     A guy that works for my dad has an 86 CS  silver without the interior

The 3.8 that's in it supposedly runs but has some very bad noises....Sounds
like I might be trading a car stereo and a couple speakers for it.  I'll
probly use the car to fix up my girlfriends (body parts wise) or put a motor
in it and my girlfriends interior...who knows  but since the stereos that I
get are free (from a friend that works at a local junk yard)  more on this if
anybody needs something) sounds like a good deal....now I just need a place to

Subject: PS Pump Bolt- H@lp

So, how does one get the pulley bolt off of PS pump in a '71 Cutlass 350?
It appears that some sadistic GM technican staked the bolt onto the shaft
somehow- nut appears to be "flattened" on 2 opposite sides, up near the
threads.  Tried everything in my bag of tricks, and succeeded in bending the
pulley; spent an hour tweaking it back into some semblance of straightness.

Hate to throw in the towel at this point- anyone have suggestions??

The only really major thing that can be done while driving with this type
of pressure is that you can MAYBE spin a rod or main bearing. WHICH can
result in a broken ROD(which will crack your block and or your crankshaft)
or your crank can spin the bearing and weld itself to it. THis can baend or
crack the crank sometimes. I would not advise RACING the motor as this will
just make things worse. I would rebuild the thing because if any HARD PARTS
break you will have to go searching $$$ for new parts.

I would say that at warm idle you are about 15 pounds TOO LOW. At drving I
would say about 25 pounds TOO LOW. THeses numbers are pretty bad, but I
have seen worse, but that motor had a ROD KNOCK (5-10pounds driving). I
wold not recommend driving the motor as you can break a rod and send it
flying through the block, in turn, making the block JUNK. Try thicker oil
for the meantime before you  rebuild it. 20W-50.. I would not drive too
much longer with those numbers......

though. we'll do well, but it's my desire to sell the 62 before we get
married.

It sounds like you already have the pump off the motor.  I've found that
keeping the belt in place and as tight as possible will allow you to loosen
the pulley.  The other thing that has worked for me is to use an impact
wrench.  If you already have the pump off the car, perhaps you can take it
to a garage that has an impact wrench.

From: Padavano.Joe@Orbital.COM
Subject: Re: Pulling Windshield (LOOOONG)

I am contemplating the idea of pulling my windshield (69 Cutlass
convertible) in order to prep the surrounding metal and paint. The left
corner of the dash is pretty rusty just at the bottom edge of the
windshield, and having the glass out would certainly make it easier to
g*t to.
________

Mike,

You're correct to want to pull the glass to repair the rust.  Fortunately,
the removal and replacement of a windshield is quite easy; it just requires
you to be careful.

First, you must obviously remove the stainless around the windshield.  To
get at that, the wiper arms must come off.  Use either the correct K-D
wiper arm removal tool or a large screwdriver wrapped in electrical tape to
pad it.  The passenger arm is simply pressed on, but the driver's side arm
has a separate link (if you have the recessed wipers) which has a sliding
clip to hold it to a small post adjacent to the main post.  Slide the clip
back, then pry off the main arm as you did on the passenger side.

You can now remove the wide stainless at the base of the windshield.  It's
held with phillips head screws.  The ends of the stainless which pass under
the fenders are held with clips, so you don't need to remove the fenders
(almost as if they designed it that way!).  The stainless on the top and
sides of the windshield is held with spring clips that require a special
hooked tool to remove.  I don't suggest you try to do this without the
right tool, as I can almost guarantee you'll damage the trim.

The next steps are not mandatory, but will make the job easier.  Inside the
car, remove the rear view mirror and the A-pillar trim.  Removal of the
snap-on plastic windlace at the front of the headliner is not necessary
(unless you're planning to replace the headliner anyway).

Now comes the trick.  You'll need about 5 feet of music wire, around 0.020"
diameter.  I bought a roll at the hardware store years ago when I replaced
my first windshield; it only cost a few bucks.  Wear gloves from here on,
both as protection against shards of glass and against the music wire.
Secure one end of the wire around a 6" or so long piece of wooden dowel.
Using a needle nose pliers, push the other end of the wire through the
sealer between the glass and the pinchweld on the roof.  You can really
start anywhere on the perimeter of the glass, but I've found it easiest to
start along the top edge.  I usually push the wire through from the outside
to the inside, but the other way works if that turns out to be easier.
Once the wire is through, grasp it with the pliers and pull it about
half-way through (roughly 2 1/2 feet on each side).  Secure the free end
around another length of dowel.

You'll need two people, one inside and one outside.  Each grasps one of the
dowel handles and both gently but firmly pull together around the perimeter
of the glass.  This will cut the sealer.  ****Note:  for 70-72 cars, be
sure to disconnect the antenna wire first!****

With the hood closed and the door windows open,  one person stands on each
side of the car.  Each places the palm of one hand on the outside of the
glass near the top, and reaches through the door window with the other to
push the top of the glass away from the body.  Rotate the glass towards the
front of the car until it is resting on the "outside" hand.  You can now
pull your other hand back around the windshield post and carry the glass
away from the car.

Thoroughly clean the remaining sealer from the glass and the windshield
frame; you don't need to completely remove it from the frame (in fact, a
thin layer will help adhesion of the new sealer), but what's left must be
of uniform thickness and should not be very thick.  If you end up scraping
it down to the metal, don't worry, but do it uniformly all the way around.
Now is also a good time to replace any questionable trim clips.  Complete
your rust repair, and if you had to sand or paint any part of the
windshield frame, get some of the 3M primer for their windshield sealing
tape and apply it per the directions.

The installation is even easier, but be forewarned that you only get one
shot, so be sure it's located correctly.  Start by getting a roll of the 3M
windshield sealing tape.  The brand name is 3M Windo-Weld Ribbon Sealer.
It comes in a couple of diameters and lengths; I use the 3/8" tape.  A 15
foot roll is enough to do one windshield or back window; it's available at
any auto paint store, and likely at any auto glass store.  This kit also
includes rubber setting blocks to space the glass up off the bottom of the
windshield frame.  I'd use them.  In fact, if you've never done this
before, dry fit the glass to the frame without the sealer.  Once you have
it centered in the opening, use masking tape as registration marks on the
glass and the frame to allow you to line it back up later.  When you're
ready to install the glass, place it face down on a soft surface.  Again
ensure that the sealing surfaces are clean (I like to use lacquer thinner)
and roll out the tape around the edge of the glass.  The tape is like a
very sticky silly putty ribbon, and it comes in a roll with a paper
separator.  I like to leave the paper on while I stick it to the glass, as
this allows me to gently press it to the glass without sticking to it or
getting oil from my skin on the sealer.  I put the seam at the bottom
center of the glass, but be sure that the cut ends are pressed together.
Use a razor blade to cut it to length.

Now for the moment of truth.  Again using a helper, get on either side of
the glass.  Remove the tape and pick up the glass by placing one hand under
the glass (this would be the outside of the glass) and one on the other
side (the inside).  You and the helper can now pick it up and carry it over
the hood of the car.  With the top of the glass angled away from the
windshield frame, gently set the bottom of the glass on those rubber blocks
while lining up the tape marks.  Rest the glass here while you each remove
your hands from the inside surface of the glass and move then around the
windshield posts, again pressing on the inside surface of the glass.
Double check again that the glass is properly aligned, _particularly_
side-to-side (note the voice of experience speaking here) and rotate the
glass back into the frame.   Again, you'll only get one shot at this, so
take it slowly.  (When I say "one shot", what I mean is that if the glass
is misaligned, you'll need to cut it out with more music wire and start
again with another roll of sealer)  Once the glass is in place, firmly
press around the perimeter to ensure proper adhesion of the sealer.
Reinstall the stainless and the wipers, and have a beer.

Good luck

The chrome SS wheels available on the 80's Cutlasses came in 14" or 15" having

rim.
The inner part (spoke part) are the same size.
My question is this I have read and heard of people increasing the diameter of
thier wheels, (basically replacing the outer piece w/ a larger diameter
piece.)I really like the SS wheels on my 87 442 and was wondering if anyone
knows of someone who had thier rims enlarged to 16" or who can do it or if it
can be done. I'd like to go 16's on my car but not at the price of replacing
my stock chrome and gold beauties. Anyone got any ideas??or am I just

        Ijust got back from Albuquerque, I bought a motor block and heads
for 50 bucks. The guy I bought it from said it was a "ROCKET 455". I have no
idea how to tell. It has the following casting numbers on the top rear of
the motor
 "CFD 568928". I also got the valve covers they say OLDSMOBILE ROCKET chrome
ofcourse. and fit the heads which have the casting number "14" and no other
markings.    Any and all will be a great h*lp!

Oldsmobiles were meant to be driven, not stored away. You were lucky enough
to have the car during the best part of its life. No mistake there. Just do
what you gotta do to make her right again. And drive it.

Good luck.

Get a new air compressor! Air tools are great. They are much faster and easier
than handtools. Get a craftsman compressor. They are the best. Get air tools
at car shows for a good price. Don't get ripped of at Sears for a $300 tool.

Mark-
After conferring with Bill LaPierre, I am using the stock drum booster from my
'66 for it's disc brake conversion. Steve Gregori is rebuilding it for me now,
and he says it's a common usage.
On the '66-7, can't use the later--bigger-- boostersas they will hit the valve
cover. For a stock motor with standard valvetrain/headgear, the notched covers
will give you about 1/2" clearance. If you've got any snazzy roller rockers
etc... and must have the taller valve covers, then this is how you must go.
Alternatively can buy an aftermarket booster from Master Power (~$250).
I will post if I have any problems.

Welcome, New Jersey Jon!  As far as Oldsmobile sites?  Whew!  There are
many.  And I mean MANY!  For starters, you can go to
Yahoo/WebCrawler/Infoseek, etc. or any of the search engines to find
out.  Type in "Oldsmobile" and you will find.....a great place to start
is the mother of ALL Oldsmobile sites, "442.com".  Information on just
about anything Oldsmobile.

Also if you go to a site that belongs to the Oldsmobile Webring, you can
get a listing of all sorts of sites that are on the ring.

Basically, if you find one Olds site, you are likely to find other links
to other Olds sites there as well.  If you want to search for all of
them, get a porta-potty set up next to your computer and have dinner
brought to you, cause you'll be looking at Olds sites for a week
non-stop.  Which, isn't a bad thing in itself.  Good luck searching.

block, E heads with twin turbochargers (non-intercooled) dumping into what
appeared to be a stock Olds manifold modified for multi-port fuel

Any body know this vehicle and how to get in touch with owner?
