Thanks for the input.  I wasn't looking forward to this.  Maybe now I'll

Subject: Put me in traction.

Members of the list;

   This is not a problem I`m having now, but will be having soon, when
my beast comes back from the shop. I had a 455 built for tourqe and
according to the desk-top dyno ( the numbers won`t be exact but should
be pretty close.) the engine will pull over 500 lbs from 2000 to 4700
rpm w/ peak HP, rated at 452, topping out at 5500 rpm.
   The 455 will go in my 75 Hurst w/ 3.42 posi and one or two steps
above stock tourqe converter. I need any suggestions on suspention and
tire selection to help me get at least decent traction without doing
permanent damage to the car (i.e. tubs, ect.) Thanks.

Subject: Muffler/Resonator?

Hi all,

I've heard that the "mufflers" used in the 80's 442 and Hurst/Olds exhaust
system are actually resonators, rather than mufflers.  I put this system
(one from Walker) on my Cutlass a few months ago, and the resonators' guts
look just like glasspacks...is there a functional difference between
"mufflers" and "resonators"?  Why are these resonators rather than mufflers?

Thanks everyone!

What an insult, you rode in it, thats a Sonama, GMC, huge difference, diff.

I was out shopping today for radio, speakers, tires and wheels. Was
thinking, how much suspension changes would I have to make to put in a 455
and T400, what kind of rear end to handle that torque. Here we go, the wife
doesn't know yet, want the Rocket off the deck lid of a 1949, "88" for the
tailgate. Heck it's just money, right. Any letters to the wife stating

Here's some fodder for the list.

I had a vision of a Ch*vy S-10, the base junk motor had been removed, a 455
and 4L80 transmission had been put in it's place. 4.56 gears were installed
in the rear end. The grill and all the ch*vy identification had been
removed. In there place was the grill from an Olds SUV (whatever they call
that thing) which is just a S-10 based Olds, and the new Olds emblems in
place of the bow ties. The Ultimate parts hauler. A big block Olds
mini-truck. A one of a kind that looked like it came from the factory.
Aaaaahhhhh! Now if only I were rich. 
Hey Lou, don't you have an S-10?

Subject: NOT a Ripoff!

With all the discussions lately about folks getting ripped off, I
figured I'd change the tone and comment on  good experiences I've had
with long distance purchasing.  I bought an HEI distributor off the
442.com website (all the junkyards in the area were too pricey).  The
man's name was Randy Banks in Cresco, IA and he took care of me.  It was
all by e-mail, which can be risky, but the item was in fine shape, just
as he described, and he was VERY quick about shipping.

A few months earlier, I bought a Q-jet from a Don Cohen in Brockton,
Massachusetts, again through 442.com, and this was equally pleasant.
He's a sweet old gent who just got a computer and even asked me e-mail
questions when I called him on the phone. He even extended his own money
back guarantee if I didn't like the carb.  Well, that wasn't necessary,
as I was quite pleased.  BTW, he's got more Olds parts.

I know there are crooks out there, but, gratefully, they're not all like
that.

Suggest that you look at the new BFG Drag Radial sizes that are out now.
They have a 325/50R15 which is 28" tall and gives cross section width of 11"
if you
have 8" rims to mount on. Otherwise if your sticking with the stock 7" rims
you'll pretty much be limited to a 275/60R15 which I had fairly good luck with
in my 69
442 with a 3000 stall and 455 putting out over 500 HP  according to Desktop
dyno.
I am also running 4.10:1 rear gears so your 3:42 should be even softer on
launch than mine (I am also running torker intake which takes some bottom end
out).
Can't beat the ride on these either. Real smooth on the road and let a little
air out at the track and wha la....

Subject: Re: Roll Call

Hi Guys,
   Okay I'll chime in here. My name is Gene Gatti and I work for a toll road
in New Jersey maintaining data aquisition equipment (sounds pretty high
tech, huh?). I've also been known to sell stuff on ebay. I like Oldsmobile
because of my grandfather. He was a service manager at Crisconi Oldsmobile
in Philadelphia for something like 50 years and he always had a demo car.
I've ridden in just about every possible combination of Olds models and
options that were created from '64 to the late 80's. Unfortunately I was too
young to remember most of them. He was a genius when it came to anything
mechanical and I was fortunate to inherit some of his skill. God I miss that
man :-( 
   He was also a big time fisherman in the Delaware Bay and his boat of
choice back in the early '70's was a wooden boat made by Trojan. It was
about 26 feet long and was set up for a 455 Olds motor. Since he worked at
the Olds dealer he brought home crate motors to use in the boat. Laboring at
full throttle pushing that big barge could really shorten their lifespan
(not to mention the occasional over-rev from putting it in neutral with the
throttles all the way forward) so frequent engine changes were a given. This
I remember vividly. Tow boat home (behind a red '65 Dynamic 88 2-door
convertible w/ 425). Back it under the railroad tie spanning two trees.
Remove broken engine. Install brand spankin' new 455. Put boat back in
water. Repeat. Some of the engines were rebuildable. Those with ventilated
blocks need not apply :-) 
   Geez, I'm sorry! I'm supposed to be talking about me and I'm rambling.
Well anyway I've owned a few Oldsmobiles in my life and am currently working
on a '64 F-85. I have a 455 to rebuild and install. I might back-half it too
but I'm not positive at this time. Well I've taken too much time already.
TTYL,
Gene

Streange...... thats why I bought a '74 Javelin about 2 years back. Had a
253 L-6, and I never could kill that thing....Ran it through a motocross
track(not on purpose) and had the fan chew the lower radiator hose. I drove
it for about a month, and it never even got hot(could it be it was only a
6-cyl???). Damn fine tough little engine.

I know this. I dont know whether to be proud, or sad, either. The Rebel
Machine came in the early '60s, next was the Pacer, in the mid '60s, the
Javelin came about in '64-'65, ran till '75, then the AMX was made from the
Javelin in '66, I believe, it to was killed in '75. I used to own a '74
Jevelin.

Just remember when you go to tighten it ~not~ to
pry on the resevior.  It bends and punctures easy
and bending it enough will cause a large leak 
where it seals to the pump.  The shaft of the pump
