I agree with Everett, I also bought one of these small ones and there is not
room for the gun and parts of any size.  I would suggest minimum 2 feet deep

fine.

Hi Bill,
	I used Netscape's editor and PFE.  If you get Netscape 4.5 it
includes a page editor but it is probably about the same as
Frontpage Express (Microsoft only created the Express version so
they could give away an editor like Netscape does).

	I'm a computer geek by trade so I use Netscape to rough out the
tables and then I use the text editor (like notepad) to add
Javascript and such.  Just as a hint, after you set up your page
then you can go to http://www.netmechanic.com/ and submit 1 page at
a time (more if you pay) to be checked for HTML errors and
compatibility, load time, bad links, and such.  This can be very
helpful to make sure that your page will load properly on all
browsers.  The alternative would be to have all browsers loaded on
your computer and test it yourself and even then it may show
correctly even if it has logic errors.

	They also have a gif picture analyzer that will shrink you images
and display the smaller versions for you to choose from.  Basically,
it reduces the number of colours and resolution and you decided what
still looks good but is small enough.  I hope they add a jpeg/jpg
version soon.

	Anyway, I don't know squat about page editors so I'll shut up now.

	Dumb question but, did you go down to Blaskin and Lane on 16th and
use their computer to see what the wheels would look like on your
car?  You tell it what your car is and then it displays a rough
picture of it with the wheels you select.

	I've played with it but I can't find any aftermarket wheels that I
prefer the look of compared to SSII/SSIII's.  Now as far as
performance goes, have you checked how much they weigh compared to
stock?  I know that you are not necessarily buying them for the
performance improvements but you probably don't want too heavy a
rim.

	I think they will look good but weren't you saying last week that
you didn't have any money:)

http://www.geocities.com/ is a pretty good place if you don't mind their
advertising scheme. They let you have I think 11MB for free. They also
have a couple different online web page editors. It's pretty good.

I tried to fit 15x10's with 5 inch backspacing on my 94 Caprice (same
B-platform) and they stuck outside the wheel well about a half inch to an
inch...IMHO it looked terrible.  Also the 15's didn't look big enough for
the big car.   I ended up going with 17" x 8.5 ROH Impala style rims that
were cheaper and fit the wheel well and car better.  I run 275/40/17 tires
and the difference inhandling from the stock 15" rims is awesome.

Yes.  They don't have the '80 Delta, so I tried it with a Impala, Regal,
Cutlass, etc.  They are not necessarily the best looking wheels but they are
relatively cheap and that is all I could afford.

You are right, but again, I don't have much choice.  I have 15x6.5s in the
back and 15x7s in the front so the rear rim will be heavier.  However, stock
are not that light and these don't seem to be too heavy.

> I think they will look good but weren't you saying last week that
>you didn't have any money:)


I am not dead broke to the point where I can't buy anything, but you are
right, I don't have that much to play with.  However, my dad is offering to
buy me two wheels so the deal is not so bad.

          I know that it's easy to go from a stock 7" super stock wheel and
make it
        into an 8" rim. There are shops that will do it for about $50.00 per
rim. As far
        as a 10" rim is concerned, I'm not sure, but I think that it would be

Never underestimate the power of Olds :)  Especially a '68 Cutlass
with duals, four barrel and cam.  The real question is if she had
known it was his dad's car would she have still married him :'0

I don't know if they're still available from GM or not.  I know TOMCO
brand emission parts had some for it at one time also and looked exactly
the same.  Can't speak for the H/O, but the 85 442 ones were chromed
from the factory.  They were on mine anyway.  But heat and time took its
toll of that very thin coating in a few short years.

But I'm here to attest about the factory exhaust systems.  I have two 85
442s, one with 60K on it, and the other which unfortunately has to sleep
outside with 117K on it.  Both have the original exhausts still there
and doing fine.  So it doesn't matter much about mileage or garage kept
with these tough exhaust systems. Of course, I don't have to worry about
salt either.  So if anyone is replacing the factory system, you'll
prolly only have to do it once for the life of the car.

Kevin,

I had the dual exhaust put on at a Meineke shop. 1972 Cutlass, stock exhaust
manifolds. $285 about 1 1/2 years ago. They blocked off the crossover
outlet, installed 2 1/4" custom bent stainless ( I know, not stock size)
pipes from x-mans to bumper, and 2 of their turbo mufflers.

I'd imagine they'd have stock size stainless pipes (1 7/8 ?)available and
with stock mufflers it might be cheaper. The Turbo mufflers were $55.00 a
piece.

Just a thought,
Randy

 The air cleaner assembly is also in pretty straight condition, but the
silver trim piece in the midde is missing some paint on the words and the
orange body has had some paint flake off.  All these items will be sold

Dunno about the 'Express' version, but Frontpage gets the highest ratings in
the reviews. But I wanted something for free, so....

1). I already know too many programming languages, and wasn't in the mood to
learn another. HTML editors were not considered, had to be WYSIWYG.

2). Checked out AOLPress. Download for free. You cannot size or position
table cells. That sucks.

3). Office 97 (Word) can create web pages. I already had it. Created my
pages with it, after an annoyingly long learning curve (Tables are the
key!). But when I went to "publish" them to my ISP, the FTP format was
wrong. That sucked too.

4). Netscape Communicator has a "Composer" mode for editing and publishing
pages. The editor is lame compared to Word, but the publisher is flawless.

So now I create new pages with Word, maintain and publish them with
Communicator. Works for me.

On the hand of the water injection systems...
_________

I don't know about the Holley water injection systems, but Edelbrock used
to make one - don't know if they still do.  I had one on the 71 Cutlass
with the dual quad 455 that got away in the divorce.  It did make a
difference in the amount of knock the car exhibited (in other words, you
could definitely tell when the water ran out).  The system came with a
plastic tank and electric pump (looked like a windshield washer setup) and
an electronic control box which turned the pump on in some relationship to
engine RPM and vacuum - there was a tach hook up and a vac sense port on
the box.  The control box had adjustments on it to allow you to vary the
RPM and vac level at which the system kicked in.  A hose out of the pump
was routed to the air cleaner, where a bracket held a nozzle over the carb
air inlet.

I don't remember what these systems cost new, but I see them occasionally
at swap meets for on the order of $25, complete.   It also seems that a
clever person could fabricate a similar system based on a windshield washer
tank from a late model car which had an integral electric pump.  All kinds
of vacuum switches exist which would allow you to trigger the pump at a
certain vacuum level (though you'd either need to find an adjustable one or
grab a selection of them at a wrecking yard).  You'd also need an RPM
switch, again with some adjustment feature.  If you're really clever, try
using a knock sensor instead and having it trip a relay that controlled the
pump motor.

I installed the ralley gages in my '81 cutlass supreme last summer.  John
McJunkin who is/was on this list at that time supplied me with a good set of
instructions to do this conversion.  See his web site at
members.tripod.com/~SuperOlds/OldsTech.html

1.  Clean all connections, including the nuts that make the connections for
the gages.  I first installed the gages without cleaning these connections and
the gages weren't accurate.  After cleaning they work great.

2.  I would suggest using a 12 volt source to check that all of the little
bulbs work in their sockets.  I had to pull out the gages again to fix a
socket that had an intermitent connection. 

3.  The only other problem that I can remember was fiddling with the gear
shift indicator to work right.  

Everyone with a "G" body cutlass (actually I like to consider mine to be one
of the last of the A-bodies) should do this conversion.  The gages are a great
improvement, and I am very happy with the results.  Thanks again to John for
the instructions.

Got a couple questions on OE tires and such.  What is the
exact relation between the letter and number on the old=20
bias ply tires as in a F70 or N70?  From what I gather the
higher the letter the wider but I'm rather confused. =20

The other thing is that while going through the "youngmobile"
brochure (which I very much enjoyed but I forgot to bookmark
the site and the owners name got lost in my recent email fiasco.
Very sorry but it came out very nice!) I noticed that all the cars
seemed to sit very low.  Now, not being of a cognizant age when
these cars were new I don't know for sure but all the restored cars=20
I've seen tend to sit a bit higher (quite a bit).  Is this just my =
imagination
or did they not want their cars to appear to be on stilts? =20

TIA
